I Made Leek & Potato Soup, Kale Salad and Salmon Patties For Dinner….

The soup recipe is Julia Child’s, The Salmon patty recipe is from Good Housekeeping magazine about 1976 and the Kale Salad is from Sam’s Club.

Leeks are $4 for a bunch of 3 or I’d make that soup more often. Thinking about it though, I’ll never visit a French restaurant and if I did a bowl of that soup would be way more than $4 and I had two bowls this evening.

I bought leeks once. They are famous for having almost as much sand inside as clams, and they are supposed to be soaked before using. There was only a TINY bit of grit in my soup.

@4meAndyou Yeah you have to separate the layers and wash every piece and inspect them afterwards. I was born on a farm, pretty sure I had a little grit or two back then.

Have you ever had the soup chilled (in Summer) as Creme Vichyssoise? Delicious too, Patti

@cherokeepatti I don't make it very often nowadays because of the carbs in the potatoes - and the consistency isn't right without them :-(

@ArtieKat the health advantage of having the soup as Vichyssoise would be that the potatoes will develop more resistance starch and that has a lot of health benefits…digestion, balancing neurotransmitters, healthy appetite and weight loss, better digestion etc. These are very good carbs.

@cherokeepatti I hadn't thought of that, thank you

Onion sprouts are a good substitute maybe? Anyone it sounds delicious!

@Ohplease47 not sure that would taste the same but you could try it.
