It has been a while since I have experimented with a totally new recipe. Last night I the most fabulous potato leek soup. It was a true hit with my family. I will definitely be making this one again.

5-6 large potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
1 head of cauliflower, cut into bite sized pieces
2 tbsp vegan butter spread
2-3 leeks sliced thinly
2 tbsp flour
6 cups vegetable broth
salt and pepper to taste

Peel potatoes and cut up into small bite sized pieces. Boil in water for about 20 minutes, then add cut up cauliflower. Let boil an addition 15-20 minutes. Drain water and remove potatoes and cauliflower from pan. Put in two tablespoons of butter and saute cut up leek in it for about 5 minutes. Add two tablespoons flour and stir well for about 1 minute. Then add half of vegetable broth and mix well with leek/flour mixture. Add potatoes and cauliflower and then the remainder of the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and add salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes and serve.

This weekend we made the best barbecue “beef” sandwiches. We cooked a package of fakin bacon in a stainless skillet with a light layer of olive oil for about 6 minutes (3 on each side), then added some barbecue sauce and sauteed for another 3-4 minutes. Then we toasted some sour dough bread in the toaster. Spread the bread with veganaise and topped with the barbecue fakin bacon. It was so unbelievable delicious. I would definitely recommend this the next time you go to a gathering where everyone is making barbecue sandwiches. It is everyone else that will be missing out.
