I spotted some leeks and remembered Julia Child’s Potato and Leek soup recipe that I’ve been wanting to try. While making this recipe, one of those emersion hand blenders would have been handy, but I used my food processor instead. The recipe says to mash the veggies together in the pot, because I was reading somewhere how she doesn’t like her veggies purred in a blender. Sorry Julia, I ended up purreing them in a food processor instead. Your probably thinking to yourself, she made soup on a hot day in the Summer? Yep, and cookies too! It was a fairly nice day today and with the oven on, I didn’t end up heating up the whole house. It only got to a high of 74. Gotta to love it when a cold front comes through.
