Chef Diat based his recipe on his childhood memories of his mother’s chilled Leek and Potato Soup.  Here is a recipe from Julia Child for that Leek and Potato Soup.  Either one will be a true delight on a hot summer day in mid-July. 

Now – to really enjoy that soup, don’t forget the baguette.  Is any soup truly complete without bread?  Sturdiwheat has it! Just add bread-bagette12water.  Easy.  Healthy.  Natural. There is nothing better than the aroma of that fresh bread baking in your home.  And you can be that Master Baker with this baguette mix from Sturdiwheat.  Go for it.  You won’t be disappointed.  And the French will think you are one of them!  How’s that for a bonus!
