Ingredients:
See below...
Directions:
~
Get some leeks.
(About 4 or 5 medium size).
Get your soup pot. (A big one).
Use about 2+/- quarts water.
Ham, or ham bone (I use turkey ham). About 3 cups worth
Chop up a couple of sticks of celery. (Or "choop" them if you prefer). hehehe
1 medium onion
Chop whites of leeks. (I quarter them and then chop to 1/2").
Throw in 1/2 dozen cut up (soup size chunky) pootatoes.
2-3 carrots. (I shred mine on the old knucklebuster).
Couple tsps of chicken bouillon.
No salt- I throw in some Mrs. Dash garlic blend.
1 tsp or so of coarse pepper. (I use McCormicks "Seasoned Pepper Blend" on everything).
After everything is yummy, shut heat off.
Then add either:
a.) packets of nonfat dry milk,
or
b.) non dairy coffee creamer
to taste.
Add couple TBS of real butter.
Sprinkle with parsley...
Serve with some cheesy toast or croutons.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

And there you have it!

PS
I use either real smoked ham or turkey ham.
(Some of us prefer the turkey ham because 'real' pork can set off a migraine).
Hmmm... dunno if I would like pOOtatoes... I do enjoy potatoes though...
ReplyDeletehehehe
love ya!
*hugs*
Aw crap.
ReplyDeleteMust have been stuck on Sweet Pea's "choop" yet.
XOXO
Me
LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt's ok... I just had to say something... It's the brat in me... LOL!
I'll copy this and get my husband to make it. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteAnna did you post anything about Casey and how she is?? What did the doctors say?? Are you
back home? Sorry to ask that here, but I was praying for her and wondering how things went.
Pootatoe Potatoe, It's all yummy. And to think, I just paid the guy $10,000 to steal your "secret" recipe. Still the best $10,000 I've ever spent. (hee hee! Ho Ho! HA HA!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! (I love the way you write recipes. I often use words like: a hunk, or chunk, or smidge, or when I add shredded cheese or chocolate chips or nuts it's a small or large handful.)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so easy to make. I buy turkey sausage all the time, I love it. That would probably work OK wouldn't it?
Leeks are pretty expensive here, but I'd love to try this. I'll let you know when I do.
Hehehe...and...YUMMMMMMMMM :)
ReplyDeletefunny, I write my recipes as tsp, cup, etc but I cook as handful, smidge, splash....
ReplyDeleteOurs are very similar... only my leeks are ALWAYS chooped.
And here I was giggling at Sweet Pea's "choop"
ReplyDeletehehehehehehe
Love ya Brat.

Sweet SD;
ReplyDeleteYeah, at gunpoint I reluctantly told the guy the recipe.
He paid me HALF of your ten grand as he begged for just for one bowl.
I spiked it with rat poison. Now he's dead. And I also have the other half of your money.
I have decided that will afford me another night in Minneapolis. Thank you muchly.
So there.
XOXO

Sweet RT!
ReplyDeleteNot one to stand on custom, I always write like that. Kinda like how I blog.
But people used to tell me that they liked how I wrote letters (back when I could still write a decent letter longhand)...
But cooking, baking are NOT exact sciences. If you don't mess up every now and then you will never create a new recipe!
Turkey sausage would HAVE to be fried out first. There is nothing else above that needs frying.
AND you will lose that smokey ham flavor too. Maybe get a bit of ham base for your recipe then.
Why on earth would leeks be expensive?
I grow enough for 2 years of soup with one $1.19 packet, and 10 feet of dirt.
(Chop and freeze.
Can't wait to hear how yours turns out too!

You tried Pea's recipe Sweet BethieBaby???
ReplyDeleteMine is worlds better. Easier. And NOT green!
hehehe
XOXO
Me
PS
I am beginning to like that "new" word too!
ReplyDeleteYou use the wooden end of the leeks too Sweet Pea;
No wonder you have to put it through a blender.
AND,
I try NOT to allow anything green and liquified in my mouth. I further try to avoid swallowing it.
Well, unless it is runny guacamole...
hehehe
I love ya, ya know!
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeleteStill cracking up over that one...
The Choop Choop Song
ReplyDeleteDoes he love leeks? i want to know
How can i tell, if he loves them so?
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no, you'll be deceived
Is it in his mothers cookbook?
Oh no, he'll make believe
If you want to know if he loves them so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Is that the one that is a cross between a potato and a cabbage? Tastes like potato but gives you the poots?
ReplyDeleteI use the tender part of the green not the woody bits. It is the potato peel and carrot that need the blender. I like the soup creamy not chunky is mainly why. you could eat it either way.
ReplyDeleteMine is WAY healthier...
Green is good for you.
It works for me....
ReplyDeleteand I love this! You learn well Young Grasshopper!
Oh thanks for shairng this! Sure looks yummy! Hugs
ReplyDelete*Taking a bow*
ReplyDeleteYou have given me confidence and a sense of pride. (giggles)
Not been out to buy Leeks yet, I will probably go for a cross between the two since I love you both so much :)
ReplyDeleteAnd well earned it is!
ReplyDeleteor make one batch of each....
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteStanding ovulation here!!!!!
eeeeyyyyeeeewwwwwwwwwww..................
ReplyDeleteNow who is gonna clean that up?
Oh I used to love cabbage, even if it made me poot!
ReplyDeletehehehe
Sans gallbladder now I cannot even enjoy chicken booyah.
So have to settle for plain old chicken soup.
(Which I do NOT put through the blender).
Wonders if "pootatoes" would then grow above ground???
XOXO
Me
ReplyDeletehehehe
LOL
ReplyDeleteBeth claims they did... and her claim made BobMo ask all kinds of embarrassing questions over on face book... so I am sure he will be by here soon.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteBring it on Sir BobMo!
hehehe
XOXO
Me
i am sure he will as long as he doesn't start with the dog butt blog...
ReplyDeleteThis I've got to try. Sounds absolutely orgasmic. Or as Rachael would say, "YUMM--O!"
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

I just read this. Alejandro will be missed. The $$ was counterfeit. Alejandro was not much on brains. I haven't heard much from you, so I can only assume you're in jail. I'll send Pedro to bail you out.

ReplyDeletehehehe
But who is Juan?
I did not even know that leeks was a vegetable.
