POTATO LEEK SOUP

recipe courtesy of epicurious.com, here (also to dchen for making it for us that one time. was delicious! thank you!)

i took a simpler approach to this soup than the recipe details—no tarragon, replaced yogurt/whipping cream with milk, olive oil instead of butter (reason for the floating oil atop the surface. attempt to cook health-consciously visually looks less healthy. what do they call that, irony?)

as for the bread: trader joe’s dollar loaf (pugliese, i think?), sliced, drizzled with o. oil and a little bit of garlic powder, toasted in the toaster oven, dipped in delicious soup. works well with most all dips/cheeses/soups/etc. too!
