HERB-ELICIOUS
POTATO & LEEK SOUP
ABSO-LEEKY FABULOUS… DIG IN!
Leeks have been cultivated since Egyptian times and most likely were a staple diet of those who built the pyramids. The Greeks prescribed them as a cure for nosebleeds and the Romans considered them so superior that Emperor Nero was nicknamed The Leek-Eater!
Our Welsh neighbours claim that girls who sleep with a leek under their pillow will see their future husbands in their dreams…we wouldn’t recommend sleeping with our soup though!
As a seasonal product this soup is not always available to purchase
