Robin, this is similar to a recipe I have called Dirty Potatoe Soup, but leave the peelings on. My guys love potatoe soup and want meat, so I do chop some ham for the soup, also some carrots for color. We too have it year round, and in Ohio here, we use your Idaho potatoes! The best! |

Marius, thats funny!!'namby-pamby', is used here, along with a few others. I'm a block from the Michigan line, and grew up there, and they always called us Michigan hillbillies!! As we lived at the very bottom of Michigan. I have a Canadian friend who ends every sentence with 'eh?' Which I love. Around here, it's 'holy cow!' The best I've heard from around here is "When I dream, I dream in color, but when I dream of Toledo, Ohio, I dream in black and white!" |

Baldur was talking about Cream of Broccoli soup and it got me thinking of this recipe. It's easily the best Cream of Broccoli soup I've ever had and my boyfriend agrees on that one. |

I like to get pretty liberal with the pepper, but then I love pepper. |

I love that all us Northern Hemispherites who are now experiencing our Summer are passing on hearty soup recipes. As for black pepper, a lot is a good thing. |

Baldur noticed that some wild mushrooms have appeared following the monthlong rains. So upon investigating the strip of woods alongside Primrose Pond I was overjoyed to discover some Boletus among them, I hope to pick a few tomorrow for my dinner. |

The Boletus are a widespread species with many variations, but none of them are seriously poisonous. So should Baldur slip up and mistake a Boletus Satanus for an innocuous Boletus Luteus (hardly possible but I'll continue in this vein) Baldur would survive dinner with little more than a grumbling stomach. |

Baldur's dinner sounded yummy, as did Dragon's cream of broccoli soup. Sheftali has a Broccoli Bisque Soup that she's made for the past 25 years, and which she offers for consideration: |

Perhaps I should mention cooking regular cultivated mushrooms while on this topic. So many people destroy this marvelous delicacy and have thus never really experienced what a mushroom can really be. |

You can make a marvelous dinner out of this be elaborating it a bit. |

Robin loves leeks, too and is anxious to try both broccoli soup variations and give a critique, but not until after my vacation which starts in a matter of 12 hours or so. I would like to know, before I venture away for 10 days, if anyone has the most delicious corn chowder recipe? I am on an endless search and have not yet been successful. One of you budding chefs must have one?! |

Good night, Baldur--sweet dreams. Glad you like leeks--I love 'em, too. Surprisingly, I saw fields of leeks when I was stationed in Turkey. I drove from Izmir about an hour into the interior of Turkey, and there I was surrounded by leeks. I've come to appreciate the subtle flavor of leeks, and fortunately, they are available year-round in the markets here. Hope yours grow well and reward you with their subtlety. |

I love leeks as well. I have very few recipes in which I use them but every time I do I always think 'Why don't I use these more often'. I wonder if thy would grow well up here, if I ever have a house and can grow a garden perhaps I'll give them a try but I suspect we might be to dry and cold for them. |
