I have been on a soup bender this week. Soup is a great way to use up your left over garden produce, and is a super great brunch or lunch option. This leek, garlic and potato soup is a great way to use up the last of your winter stored potatoes that are getting floury.

The garlic adds an extra depth to the leek flavor and makes an already great dish absolutely fabulous.

This easy potato soup recipe is quick to whip up. It is very filling and very delicious. It freezes well and one batch makes 6-8 portions.

To serve I like to add a blob of sour cream or a swish of cream, but the actual recipe itself has no dairy in it so that my husband can eat it. Add a piece of buttery toast and I am a happy camper!

In a large pot over medium heat melt the fat and add the leeks, bacon and crushed garlic. Cook this down until wilted. While they cook, chop the potatoes into 1 inch cubes. You can peel them if you like, but I tend to leave the skins on.
