Leek and Potato Soup
As soon as I received my Nourish Your Roots (link to à https://www.nourishns.ca/nourish-your-roots) fresh produce box, the first thing I made was this Leek and Potato Soup. It is my number one ‘fall favourite’ because it is absolutely delicious and perfect for warming you up as the days start to get chilly.
