Potato and Leek Soup

you're going to want to make this one!

Happy Sunday Everyone! :)

To finish off this week, I made a chunky potato and leek soup. It’s chunky, herbaceous and cozy. Perfect for the season because I just turned my heat on and will be walking around with my emotional support blanket until further notice.

Sharing a Non-Recipe but Food Related Thing!

I tend to be quite the homebody, but this past Wednesday I went to a really fun food event with Kraft Natural Cheese that was hosted by Tiffani Thiessen.

This was the first in-person event that I have ever been invited to attend, so it was such a cool opportunity that made my foodie career feel a bit more legit (I definitely struggle with imposter syndrome).

It was a ton of fun being able to meet other individuals in the food creator/writer space. Connecting, asking questions and just being around people who do similar work that I do.

And of course eating all of the dishes that all revolved around CHEESE, my favorite food group.

Since my original background is being in the restaurant/service industry it’s always such a unique experience when visiting familiar spaces and being a guest instead of working them!

Okay thanks for listening, I just felt the need to share because I would not have been at this event if it weren’t for all of you wonderful people <3 so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Moving On.

The inspiration for the soup.

• Traditional Creamy Potato and Leek Soup

• Greek Style Potatoes

Let me elaborate on this a bit.

I made a mustard, dill-y roasted potato years ago for Mother’s day (it was definitely a viral facebook video that I had seen at the time). For whatever reason I could not get them out of my head this week, which led me to take those flavors and make them into a soup.

*Note- not all of these crazy ideas end up working out in my favor, however this time it did*

Additions/Substitutions:

1. Feel free to add a protein but this is a great vegetarian soup that I think holds its own without meat!

2. Swap out yellow dutch potatoes with yukon golds!
