A Message from Rachael:

Wow it's the weekend again. After a week with a few amazingly lovely days we're back to cold and wet. Friday was a great day for LEGO and soup. I've had a hankering for leek and potato soup for a while and we got a 20 lb bag for yellow flesh potatoes from Apple Creek Farm and a few bunches of leeks too at the last pickup. It's so easy and I made it while the kids played and I was chatting with Brenda - one of our farmers - on the phone. Here is a general recipe:

1. Chop half of a large onion (I think it was Spanish) and in a fairly big pot sautee in oil (I used olive oil, but we have sunflower, canola and soya oil grown and pressed locally)
2. Chop most of a pound of leeks. You can get a 1 lb bunch from Kingwood Farms or you might only need one of the bunch of three from Edward and Selema Martin. Sautee them with the onions, Add a bit of salt and pepper too.
3. Remember the carrots you brought for a snack that morning. Chop a few and add them in to sautee also.
4. Slice a couple potatoes per person and add them to the pot.
   
5. Add some stock and/or water to cover the potatoes. Andrew made an amazing pot of stock last Saturday with one of the packs of two chicken necks and backs from Snyder Heritage Farms that fed 3 families on Sunday for lunch and a few more meals for our family and three containers for the freezer also! One container went in this soup)
   
6. If you want, you can add celery, herbs or a bay leaf for extra flavour, check the salt and pepper and adjust if necessary.
   
7. Cook until the potatoes are soft - 20 minutes?
8. Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender or potato masher to blend some of the potatoes and carrots in. You can make it completely smooth or leave a few chunks in.
9. Serve to starving children immediately, or wait until it cools to room temp for an even tastier treat.
   

After lunch, sit on the floor and play LEGO with the kids.
