Freaky Leeky

Leek & Potato Soup - Bittman refers to it as medieval peasant's food, I refer to it as "..mmMMmmM.." Elegant in its simplicity, this warm satisfying soup contains just 4 inexpensive ingredients, but can be coaxed into a variety of forms, warm or cold, blended with cream or avocado. In fact "vichyssoise", something I'd always thought was super fancy since it sounded French, is just chilled leek & potato soup. Those sneaky French! First slicing of the veggies to first wonderful slurp took only 35 minutes, half of that simmering unattended - and now we have yummy soup leftovers at our beck and call. Coupled with a Hummus, Cheddar, Apple sandwich, I felt satisfied.

Daddy didn't end up debuting his cooking prowess tonight - another late project at work. But stayed tuned!
Tomorrow: Borscht? Or other beet product??
