Potato Leek Soup to warm you on a cold day

February 9, 2017 by MCM Mama 3 Comments

Soup is one of my favorite foods. Yes, the entire category. In fact, when I was pregnant with Jones, I craved soup at every meal. Since Virginia has decided that today is winter, this potato leek soup is on the menu.  I need to make it while it’s actually cold enough to enjoy it.

You think I’m kidding that we are getting one day of winter? Yesterday it was in the mid-60s and I ran in a skirt and short sleeve shirt! Today it’s a high in the 30s. Sunday it will be in the 60s again. Go home, Mother Nature, you are drunk!

Anyways, I love this potato leek soup as it is super easy to make, has lots of veggies, and is quite tasty. Add a scoop of Greek yogurt and you’ve got some extra protein as well. Win/Win!

What’s your favorite winter soup? Are you being hit by the cold and snow in the North East today? (We did not get any snow, boo.)

It’s supposed to be cold here again tomorrow, so I think Split Pea Soup is up next.

I’m linking up with Confessions of a Mother Runner and Running on Happy for Meatless Monday. (I know, I’m a day+ late and a dollar short…)

This potato leek soup is a warm and healthy way to make it through a cold winter day. So easy to make and so tasty.

    Yes got lots of snow – over a foot.

    I love squash leek soup but often make beef vegetable which is obviously not meatless.
