Irish Potato Leek Soup

"This was published in a local magazine in March 2001. The article was written by a local chef that had spent a month in Ireland and came home with several authentic Irish recipes. My family loved each one. (Glazed corned beef brisket, braised cabbage, pan fried shredded potatoes, potato leek soup and Irish soda bread.) I am posting them all so I will have them in a safe place."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am now semi-retired and an Empty Nester. I try to focus on lighter dishes for day to day menus. I still like to explore new food ideas. I look for smaller quantity dishes now. I am not vegetarian but I cook with more vegetables than meat now. I enjoy sharing desserts with family and my co-workers.
