one of the many, many perks (i'm being sarcastic) of being a vendor at the flea market is... the behind the scenes... (doesn't that make me sound important?!) swapping and bartering that happens! take for instance the vegetable: leeks. i had a pair of kids shoes i swapped for a bag load of leeks. and with the 25 pound bag of organic potato's i bought... i just knew soup was in the future.

here's the recipe i use for the soup. i add lots of caraway seeds.
