Enjoy the flavors of Ireland in each scrumptious spoonful
There are few soups that are more comforting than Leek and Potato Soup. A favorite in Ireland, this soup is perfect for a cold, rainy day, and is just what is needed to warm your whole body. It is thick and creamy, with just a mild onion flavor from the leeks. With a slice of good, hearty bread, you’ll feel warmed to the core.

Why should greens be removed? I’m going to use frozen leeks that have both white and green parts.
Michelle, That’s perfectly fine. You’ll love it either way. 🙂

Bob, this recipe is for a slow cooker. Ramps sound delicious! Let us know how the soup turns out with them!
