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.

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

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.
