Oh baby!


This sounds like a wonderful soup that won't take all day. Thanks so much for posting!


Sounds healthy and I love it !!!


Great combo will be making this one


Great recipe, though very high in fat (I used some butter and cream substitutes). I came on the site today, looking for a way to use up some fresh leeks. Found this recipe, and decided to try it because it sounded so yummy, I had all the ingredients, and it seemed perfect for a grey and rainy day like today. I was surprised to discover, when I tried to save the recipe, that I already had it--from who knows how long ago. I guess it was meant to be one of my favorites. Thanks!


Hi! Just spotted this recipe - I'm saving this for autumn - I love all these ingredients and I can easily substitute non-dairy versions of the butter, etc. Smashing! Thanks
Hope you are well.
Love

I used vegetable broth because I'm vegetarian. The result was delicious, so I don't think the change did any harm.
