There was frost on the lawn this morning. It's been a very cold few days.
Thoughts always turn to bowls of piping hot soup in cold weather, but my vegetable stock was low.
So I went a mile or so down the road to a little vegetable/fruit/bread/flower stall, which is very popular. It's on the side of the road in a layby and has been running for as long as I can remember.
The vegetables are all grown locally, though of course fruit is bought in. Nothing is plastic wrapped and it is all so fresh. Today I bought cauliflowers, red cabbage, leeks, purple broccoli, shallots, swede, and some apples.
And then I came home and made Leek and Potato soup.
Just leeks, potatoes, butter, salt, pepper,
stock and a little milk.
Finished with a swirl of Creme Fraiche.
So deliciously warming!
