Chris- Thanks, hope you found something nice for lunch!

Larissa- There’s nothing wrong with being creative. I might have added stuff to this to make it a bit more interesting, but I only had the leeks and potatoes!

Great picture….as usual. I have never made potato/leek soup, I have started one many times but it always turns into something orange, or green, or red with more spice. I need to try and simplify and stick to a recipe, I will give this a shot, getting a little chilly here these days.

mmmm that looks really good.. Now I’m too hungry to concentrate on work.. Must find food… (Too bad it won’t be nearly as good as that soup..)

Edward thinks our family’s lunchtime habits are utterly bizarre. He STILL asks me on weekends, “What’s for lunch, hon?” Umm, nothing. You’re on your own, buddy. Go get a tin of Libby’s baked beans out of the pantry ;)

Do you think Mum and Dad fed us lunch when we were little? I’m assuming they didn’t let toddlers go hungry all day!

MH- That is so you, Vichyssoise indeed! :) I’m not generally a fan of cold soups, but I’d be willing to try Debbie’s!

Dana- You are SO right. Soups, especially puréed ones, are very difficult to photograph, they always look so boring and flat!

I feel the same way about eating out most of the time. The trouble with being an avid cook is that you start to pick apart any restaurant meal you have, thinking “I could do this better/cheaper”.

I find soup so difficult to photograph well. Your shot is so beautiful! We have gotten into the (bad) habit of eating lunch out every weekend because we are on some kind of outing with our boys. It is invariably a) not good and b) expensive. What I wouldn’t give for a large mug of your soup!

mmm I love leek and potato soup. My favorite is the cold french Vichyssoise version that the Debster would always make.
