SPUDS N' LEEK SOUP (POTATO LEEK SOUP)

I really love this combination of the leeks and potatoes.  I didn't know if I could get the flavor I was looking for to give it a hearty, comforting taste, but by caramelizing the onion, garlic and leeks, this was so good I couldn't stop going back for more.  If you've never cooked with leeks, be careful to clean them really well.  They tend to have a lot of sand or dirt between the layers of skin, depending on the soil they are grown in.  Also, you only use the part of the leek that is light green right below the dark green leaves and going down to the white skin.

In both studies, meat-eaters were at higher risk of a cancer death, and many more studies have shown the same thing."  Read more information here
