Use leeks to make this tasty potato soup, if you don't have wild leeks or seasonal ramps.

Ingredients:

  • 4 to 6 slices bacon
  • 4 cups chopped ramps (including green)
  • 4 to 5 cups diced red potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, fry bacon until crispy; set bacon aside. Add ramps and potatoes to the skillet; fry on medium-low heat until ramps are tender. Sprinkle with flour; stir until flour is absorbed. Stir in chicken broth; simmer until potatoes are tender. Stir in the cream and heat thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 4 to 6.

Wild Leek & Potato SoupAugust 12, 2009By larabunny
"I went and collected wild leek from our land and looked up this recipe on the internet for Wild Leek & Potato Soup. I can tell you that this soup is by far one of the tastiest soups I have ever made or tried. I made another batch for my grown children to try and they were wild about this soup! Thanks for such a great recipe. Please note that it does omit the part about what to do with the bacon once it's cooked so I just diced it up and put it in the soup, it was great!"
