Spring Soup



Leek and Potato Soup Recipe - CookUK
Leeks mean spring to me. So for the eve of the first day of spring in South Africa, we celebrated with this easy soup from Cook UK. Leeks are tender when cooked, but green and hardy like a tulip, and the very thought of them makes me taste butter, garlic and new potatoes. I used baby potatoes here for their earthy flavor and added few fennel seeds. Also good, would be anise, tarragon or fresh dill. You could add a swirl of pesto before serving. We ate ours with veggie quesadillas, but hot rolls would definitely do the trick.
