Or mere tales of squishy potato bake?
Hot Lactose-free Vichyssoise, even?
(Apologies - i fought the technology but the technology won in the below order of photos - imagine them in reverse.)
For visual description in the right order-
- a very wet end to a very wet week;
- wet-weather organ-warming soul-massaging goodness-in-a-bowl;
- Super-Crunchy Garlic-Flavoured SourDough Croutons from the air fryer:
- a piece I call "still-life with wine receptacle, fresh ginger and a grey tin of McKenzies coarse-ground black-pepper"; and
- a white bowl with an artsy-fartsy arrangement of croutons, black pepper and greenish yellow potato-and-leek soup.

Not deconstructed-reconstructed extrusions in a tin that tastes like someone lied to make money, but good-to-honest from scratch.
Well, I didn't grow the potatoes or get the recipe from a bookseller. But as close to the shore of nature as a modern day working woman intending to solve hunger sails.
I went to the supermarket. A leek I did buy. Also some chips to go with my Friday night glass of wine.
I found a guide to follow for the something whipped up on a very wet end to a very wet week. *
With super-crunchy garlic-flavoured sourdough croutons from the air fryer.
It hit the spot on this child free evening.
Practical wet-weather organ-warming soul-massaging goodness-in-a-bowl. What is not to love?
So - tell me yours.

No paid content here - just very yummy.
Also I made this one lactose-free by omitting the cream altogether- already rich enough. Whilst part of me remembers the CONCEPT of cream was curious-ly appealing, too much of my muscle memory is tied up in post warmed lactose hell.
Don't even MENTION melted cheese!

You did really, really well. And hooray for home-made food.
Hmm.... thinking about sourdough croutons in the air fryer. I might have to give that a go, or something similar.
Thank you. I am not great at rule following and until I did a deep dive after writing the above hadn't been to yours.
You have to Kelly - game changing! If we have any bread not being eaten quickly enough, we will cube and freeze - its just a spray of oil and any seasoning and into the air fryer for deliciousness!
You did very well! I have heard of Recipe Tin Eats, but recipes I tried didn't go as well as I hoped, bread recipes mostly, so I'm giving up on those. I haven't made potato/leek soup in years, I prefer sweet potato/pumpkin.
I have had hit and miss with some of her stuff - her coleslaw dressing is a go to (although we don't add sugar because we are sweet enough). I did make a wonderful pumpkin with half a pumpkin given to me by Dad a couple of weeks ago.
Sembla deliciós, tot i no haver-ho provat mai.
Aferradetes, Jeanie.
lets see if Google can translate back! it is such a simple yet delicious soup - fry leeks in butter, add potatoes and stock and then season and blend. but if course, the main ingredient is hunger.
a veure si Google pot traduir de nou! És una sopa tan senzilla però deliciosa: fregiu els porros amb mantega, afegiu-hi patates i brou i, a continuació, amaniu i barregeu-los. però si és clar, l'ingredient principal és la fam.
oh - and GARLIC too - must have garlic.
Ah, i l'all també: deu tenir all!
We love cream of potato soup here as well. I have not made it with leeks (our wild leeks are much smaller, so using more is a must). We love a nice bowl of soup in the cold weather. A big favorite is French Onion soup, whipped up in the blink of an eye, a toasted round on top and popped in the over to melt a gooey layer of cheese (sorry about the muscle memory thing).
Lentils and sausage soup, perhaps?
This does sound delicious. Thanks for the site recommendation, too!
ha ha - sausage has a similar effect. I don't mind taco soup, though, and I used to have an Anton Mosimann red lentil and lemon soup that was amazing - leant the book and never got it back, but the memory lives on!
You are most welcome
