This is my very first recipe using leek as an ingredient. Leek is not a common vegetable in Japan. We have Tokyo negi, or naganegi, which is similar to leeks, but negi (green onion) is usually thinner and longer while leeks tend to be wider and shorter. Recently I joined FoodBuzz, an online food-blog community and I found so many foodies’ blogs around the world. If you have a chance, spend some time and browse around. I found really good recipes there that inspired me to try. One of them was a potato leek soup recipe. However, while I was browsing several websites at once, I somehow lost the recipe I found. I kept looking for it but I just couldn’t find it. In the end, I ended up creating my own recipe. To my surprise, it was really delicious and my husband loved it (good, I have 2 more leeks waiting in the fridge!). Hmm, maybe someone in the world will find my potato & leek recipe by accident. If you did, enjoy! Wish to learn more about Japanese cooking? Sign up for our free newsletter to receive cooking tips & recipe updates!
