Leek & Potato Soup
Ingredients:
3 large leeks, washed and sliced
1 1/2 Tbsp butter or olive oil
4 pounds potatoes
4c water
4c vegetable broth (or more water and/or milk)
3 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon or 2 limes, juiced
salt to taste
Directions:
Wash the dice the potatoes. Place potatoes with the 4c of water in a large pot, cover them, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until completely tender. Melt the butter in a skillet and cook the leeks over medium heat, stirring often, until they are limp. Add the leeks and all the other ingredients in with the potatoes. Cook everything together for about 10 minutes and salt to taste.
Tips: I usually mash the potatoes with a potato masher right in the pot of soup to make it creamier. This soup takes potato soup to a new flavor level. It is also delicious with carrots and/or greens in it. Leeks are a very nutritious (great for your gut health!), mild and flavorful onion/garlic-like plant. They are also great sautéed with potatoes or vegetables. We used a combination of our 5 potato varieties in the soup.

Tomato & Cucumber Salad
Dice up fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. Also great with chopped red onions and kalamata olives. Squeeze lime or lemon juice on veggies, add some flaxseed oil (which is a high omega-3 oil), sprinkle with chopped fresh dill, salt to taste.
