A must try – Leek and Yam Chowder Recipe! Fast, easy and perfect for a cool fall evening!
This is another fall family favorite in our home and it is something I would have never thought I would crave.
After going on Jude’s field trip (more to come on that trip) we ended up with a ton of fresh produce on our counter tops. Yum! So I had to figure out what we were going to do with it all.
First up…use our leeks and SOME of the potatoes that we harvested at a local farm by making this great chowder!

OK. I have to admit to hear Leek and yams was not appealing, but your photos are excellent and the recipe looks delicious! I will pin and share this. I would LOVE shares on this post: http://www.3sonshavei.com/2013/10/the-official-domestic-violence.html Thank you!!
This looks really good and nice and hearty too. I'm a vegetarian, so it's something I would love.
