Oh this is perfect for our almost winter days! I remember Leek soup (which I guess was potato and leek) from my years living in Europe. But I never actually knew it was a French dish! I love the addition of chicken broth. I can smell it simmering on your stove. I think I need to find someone going to town who can buy me potatoes and leeks as our gardens are empty of those necessities.

Leek soup always (as far as I know) is based on potatoes and yes! Very French for my recollections. :) You know how those can be. There is a nice vegan leek soup, but, to me it is more like a vegetable soup (which is fine) but, when I am looking for something creamy and warm, this fills the square.
I like to decorate it with parsley, chives, or a dollop of sour cream on top, or the old sidekick bacon! I don't really eat it, but, my family loves it on top.
So many variants to make this work!
Hello, lovely!! It is that time of year now, the no time for anything time of the year. Running back and forth from the other house as there are projects going on there.
Hope all is well with the homesteading Buckaroos!

Oh definitely that time of year for all of us. The in between time. I love it. Everything is cooler but not chilly. All of creation seems to hum with joy and anticipation. We have warm winter days but the nights are cold enough to cuddle under heavy blankets.
You DO know I'm not vegan? Or vegetarian 😉 while I was for years I have to admit I enjoy my meat too much. Although in moderation. And I absolutely will not eat anything that is not raised by us (or equally animal loving homesteaders). I abhor what happens in feed lots and abattoirs. So, yes, I'm with you on not eating veggie soup. I love soup loaded with vegetables and a healthy dose of red lentils but it must have a chicken or beef broth.
Thank you for the love! Back at ya.
Oh....almost forgot. We hope to begin our sheep shearing lessons next week on those 5 beautiful Denise gifted sheep. Watch this space
Oh!!! How very cool!Sheep shearing lessons! That was such exciting news, truly. You have never shorn sheep or these kind of sheep. My ignorance is showing here. I am not sure if they all sheer the same, although, with little changes, they probably do.
I will bet the kids will be excited. Are you going to use the wool or sell it? Either way, it is exciting and I am so happy to see you grow.
You certainly did not take the easy way, do you? But, there is much self satisfaction this way! Look what you are teaching your children!
I do know you aren't vegan or vegetarian, but some days, I like to eat that way for a change. I do like my meat and it is very healthy for you in moderation. Thank you for giving me the heads up on the shearing!
You know Denise sheep farming - and specifically wool sheep - goes back in my family. I remember as a very little girl being at my great uncle's farm during sheep shearing. Craig and I used to play in the massive crates of beautiful wool. So I guess it's in my blood. However I've never personally sheared so I'm really excited. We plan on just keeping it small scale for now. Maybe the children can grow their flock once they are old enough to shear and clean the wool as well as care for the flock. I bought a spindle when we first moved to our homestead so my next goal is to learn to spin!
