    Leek and potato soup - cold OR hot - is one of my husband's and my favorites. Now how can you go wrong with adding asparagus?! I'd give this two 5's if I could. Mmmmm.

    This sounds wonderful. I love the idea of having something like this is the freezer ready to go. It's a keeper!

    This sounds incredible. I just had lunch this week at a culinary school in downtown Dallas, this was one of the things the kids served and it was incredible. So glad to have the recipe. Great post, you've got my 5.
