I made some potato leek soup.

Three days of lunch and dinner for like... i dunno... $6?

6 red potatoes

1 carrot

1 onion

2 cloves garlic

1 leek

1 stick butter

2 32oz box of veggie broth

2 of above of water

Salt, pepper, turmeric

Melt a stick of butter on low medium in a big stock pot.

While it's melting, dice the onion and garlic and throw it it. Stir to coat in melted butter.

Up the heat to medium and cook until the onions start to go clear, stir occasionally to keep them from burning.

Wash the potatoes well. Dice em up in chunks roughly the size of the end of your thumb. *Do not dice thumb.*

Add potato chunks to buttery onions and stir to coat them in buttery onions.

Wash and chop the carrot, and throw that in too.

Add liquids and put the heat to high to bring the whole thing to a boil. Stir occasionally. Add salt, pepper, turmeric, whatever other spices you want here.

While waiting for it to boil, slice the leek, then give it a good rinse in cold water. (Leeks always seem to have so much dirt in them.)

Once at a boil, add half of the leeks, cover, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

When the 30 minutes are up, add the rest of the leeks, briefly bring it back up to a boil, then eat.

Just a heads up. I generally don’t keep up with offline YouTuber stuff (best for all involved) but I found out that June Xie from Delish’s Budget Eats series got fired earlier in 2022. Here’s the article that runs down the situation. I really love June’s content and she honestly carried Delish through the last few years on her back. However, she’s started doing long form content on her own channel. For those of y’all who are interested in keeping up with the series and June, check it out!

(FYI, she and her partner had apparently separated a while ago but were cohabitating because they genuinely like each other and are still friends, but she’s moved into her own place. Also Fred the cat (who is toothless, asthmatic and adorable) prefers her partner’s space, so he’s fine and still there.)
