I had to google what a leek was when I was at the grocery store; I'm a visual learner you know.
I used the food processor this time to slice up my carrots and parsnips; I don't know why I hadn't tried it before.
You know it's ready when the potatoes and carrots start "breaking."
What I love most about this soup is how well it freezes. I've got it down to a science - average is 2 scoops per person - so I usually freeze individual portions, double portions, and quadruple portions for an easy meal when we want to invite someone over for dinner.
Adaptions I made this time around:
-added flax seed - why not - right?
I had all intentions of adding squash - but there just wasn't any room in my crowded pots.
Note to the wise: don't start this process at 5pm and think you'll eat by 7 {rookie mistake I've already made}. It's more like, start it at 1 or 2, and eat by 7. It's a lot of work. A lot of mess. But you'll reap the benefits later when all you have to do is defrost and reheat.
