Leek and potato soup from The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution (page 258) by Alice Waters

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Simple basic soup. Not very exciting.

    p. 258 -- Simple but flavorful. I used light cream and left the soup chunky. Topped with a bit of crumbled bacon and radish sprouts.

    P258. Time to make: <1 hour. A small number of variations are given following the recipe. Leftovers keep well. A classic, wonderful soup.
