Ok, it's the 1st of December, the month of Christmas. Don't panic, don't panic! Ok, these last two days I panicked. I have my December recipes' schedule ready and I had to post a savory phyllo pie today, but it didn't turn out the way I wanted. It's pretty...and festive...but something is missing. So I'll test it again and THEN I'll share it with you.
\nSame thing happened for a sweet phyllo strudel today (do I have<\/em>\u00a0phyllo\u00a0obsession?<\/i>). I'll re-test that for the third time next week.
\nLuckily, this amazing velvety soup saved me (and maybe will save you too!)<\/p>\n

\"Super

This soup is so easy to make: you'll just need 7 ingredients, slice and cook!<\/p><\/div>\n

A velvety potato leek soup that will warm up your heart...<\/h2>\n

I've never EVER liked soups, least of all minestrone soups. My mom used to serve minestrone to make me and my sister eat vegetables when we were little, but I just loathed it (sorry mom).
\nGrowing up, I knew I had to find a solution: I should have started eating vegetables,<\/strong> otherwise...well, you know what happens in case of lack of fibers, vitamins etc.
\nI found the solution in \/\u00a0*confession time*\/<\/em> store-bought dry soups (ok, now I'm feeling ashamed).\u00a0Luckily, to me that was the turning point: from that moment on, I started eating soups.\u00a0And guess the first soup's flavor: yup, potatoes and leeks!<\/p>\n

\"How

Serve you velvety soup with some delicious croutons!<\/p><\/div>\n

Later on, when I started attending university, I began making soups from scratch<\/strong> (great strides!) and how could I not make my beloved\u00a0velvety potato leek soup in the first place?
\nSo I googled it and found hundreds of recipes. Unluckily 80% of those called for heavy cream. Honestly, I didn't\u00a0 like the idea of \"overloading\" an healthy meal, especially soup. That's the reason why I've always used some \"basic\" milk, or ricotta, instead of cream.
\nAs time passed, I've perfected my\u00a0velvety potato leek soup and today I'm gonna share it with you.<\/p>\n

This soup is perfect if you're looking for a first course for you Christmas menu<\/strong> and you have some \"heavier\" main meals after the entr\u00e9e<\/em>. As a matter of fact, I've called it \"White Christmas Soup\", thanks to its color!<\/p>\n

\"Creamy

Garnish this velvety soup with some creamy cheese and herbs!<\/p><\/div>\n

Note: ALWAYS try a recipe before \"the big day\", otherwise you'll risk a failure. Even if the recipe is tested multiple times, maybe there are some adjustments you have to make! So, test it yourself first.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
