POTATO, LEEKS, CORN AND HAM SOUP
DINNER AT HOME
We had a lot of food leftover after Thanksgiving. Leeks, Potatoes, Thyme and Shallots to name just a few things. Thought of making a Potato and Leek Soup so I gave it a try. Used a recipe but added Shallots, Corn and Ham to kick it up a notch. End product was a smooth soup with nice potato flavor.
The ham really makes a difference and takes the soup to another level.
