Fennel, Leek and Potato Soup

PinterestPrintPrintFriendlyShare

According to the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) May was our driest month, so judging by the last few days and the next weeks BOM predictions, June is going to be one of the wettest months. So when it’s cold, wet and miserable I nest and make soup.

I’m a soup loner, Imogen runs a mile from soup and Dwaine, well he is tolerant of them, I think he is getting more used to them as the years go by.

Thomas Dux was selling fennel for $1 each! Eeekk, how could I resist! I am one of those people that must buy the item if it’s on special. With two fennel bulbs in bag I was off home to make something yummy and scrumptious and winter-ish.

What?

Fennel, leek and potato soup with plenty of pepper.

This soup is easy, does not ask for a lot of intensive care and tastes of winter goodness with some crusty bread.

Question…what is your all time favourite winter hot soup?

For such a simple, easy dish, the results are spectacular.

Gratins can be used to smarten up a dish as the layered potato and creamy melted cheese beats, hands down a mash potato or chips as a side dish – although, I really could eat an entire one on my own for dinner!

There will always be, like in my family, the fight to get the last crispy bits of potato and cheese on the sides of the baking dish!

I will be eating this tonight with the recipe below, the Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooked Leg of Lamb – YUM!

Bon appétit!
