French Soup~

I mean Soup from French Word-A -Day~

I just love everything about her blog~

So even though we all have oodles of these kinds of soup recipes..I wanted to make hers:)

Her post title..Poireaux/leeks..

was just the incentive I needed to make the recipe all about her..
and leeks
.. diced..



And chopped..~
..

And mixed with favored veggies..

I had never been very generous w/ my Herbes De Provence in my potages aux légumes...

This time..thinking of her..
I added at least 1 tablespoon full(1 cuillère à soupe we say here in Québec:) )

It was delicious..



I was transported to a wildflower field in Provence~



Or a little resto in Tourrettes~


The colors are so similar!



And enjoyed every mouthful.

W/ a side salad .. what more could you want?



Thank you Kristin~

    The original version I saw was w/ gots cheese..I have to remember where I saw it..and post a link..I am afraid I don't have it on hand.The presentation was lovely~I remember that:)

  10. Monique,

    Your photos and stories are as delightful as this soup! I'd love to pull up a seat to your pretty table and share in this bright and sunny lunch, tuiles and all. Merci beaucoup. I will forward your blog link to James A. Wilson, who shared the soup recipe (after it was shared with him by a dear friend and Frenchwoman, Andrée Harivel).
