A Polish Girl In An American Kitchen
This is another gem from The New American Plate. The leeks and carrots make this dish in my opinion. And they serve as a great veg for the entire meal. All you need to make with this for a full dinner is rice! I’m not …
I love making this soup right at the beginning of fall, before it gets too cold (or anytime in SoCal since it’s never cold lol). It’s warm but refreshing. And the bright color is fun. I also often serve it for Thanksgiving. If you enjoy …
