    Delicious and comforting soup that is filling and easy to make! Potato, Leek and Smoked Ham Soup ...and it is gluten free too!!
    Potato, Leek and Smoked Ham Soup! (GF)

    The recipes within this little blog are designed to share with the world but most importantly it is a list of recipes for when my boys grow up and need to live by themselves ...and cook for themselves! 

    One night over the dinner table they were talking about when they have their own place, what it will look like, who they might live with and how they will know what to cook?

    They talked about their favourite foods, meals and desserts and especially our family favourites!

    They talked about cooking their first meals for their girlfriends, having people come over for dinner and making sure what they cook tastes great (oh! ..they did talk about not wanting to eat burnt meals and over-cooked cakes...ha! ... teenage boys thinking of their tummies- that is normal!) 

    So, to prepare them for the wide world, the collection of recipes are here for them!
    An electronic copy of their favourite foods, that they won't loose in a recipe book, the pages won't get messy and dusted with flour while cooking and their children can have access to the 'old fashioned way' of cooking.
    I am sure in the future everything, including cooking and eating will be different.)
     
    So for my boys, here is your favourite Potato, Leek and Smoked Ham Soup, that you have grown up with!

    It is really very basic but whenever I cook this, they think I am the best mother in the world (...they are very easy to please!)
     
    Potato, Leek and Smoked Ham is a comfort soup for when it is cold and you need warming and filling up!

    This soup is best enjoyed in front of the T.V with crusty bread!
    (especially Gluten Free Irish Soda Bread)
    to dip into it....delicious!

    Method
