This soup is eaten best in the autumn and winter seasons. It's full of vitamins and minerals to get you through these cold months. The potatoes and cream give it a nice creamy texture. Eat with some fresh rye bread topped with butter and a slice of spicy ripe cheese.

Here is a standard recipe for leek, which are grown in the cold winter.For variation, add cheese to change the flavor of this simple soup.The key is to cook the leek slowly to bring out the flavor, but don't burn it.If you like a richer flavor, substitute part of the amount of milk with heavy cream.This has a substantially thick consistency. Adjust the thickness as desired. Recipe by KT121

Roasted pumpkin soup Roasted pumpkin soup
Pumpkin is one of the vegetables actually grown in Trinidad and Tobago and so when I wanted to make a dish that focuses on a product sourced from a local farm, pumpkin soup was the first idea to come. I love its creamy texture, versatility and that it's very easy to make a version that looks and tastes like a professional chef made it. I saw a version of this (butternut squash) made by Antoni on an episode of QE and was so intrigued I decided to replicate it.

Leek and potato lumpy soup Leek and potato lumpy soup
I'm not the best at cooking so everything I make is easy and beyond tasty! Never made a leek and potato soup before and I mashed several recipes together. Some say add onion. I hate onion so I didn't add it. But you can add a cup in if you want. Same with pepper (add to taste) and maybe try some cheese grated in? Make it your own and don't worry as long as you have leeks and potatoes...it's a soup...

Do you want something hearty without clams or shrimp? Have potatoes and leeks. You won't forget it ! The leeks gives the soups that bite with the radishes with a small kick from the peppers. Here walks in the sweetness from the parsnips !
