Cream of Leek and Potato Soup

On cold and wet days, nothing warms you up like a bowl of creamy leak and potato soup. Plus, it’s hearty enough to eat as a dinner with a small salad to go along with it. Just make sure you have some good sourdough bread to go along with your soup as you’ll want to sop up all that creamy liquid.

Call it wishful thinking and an offering to the universe for the temperature in Oregon to finally warm up.
