Leek Potato Soup
by@fromthefamily“While my mom’s Leek Potato Soup is wonderful on its own, I knew the addition of bacon would be a home run. But I wasn’t going to add just any bacon, oh no, it had to be Kayem Bacon. Because when you are making a family recipe, I’m pretty sure it’s essential to use ingredients from local, family owned brands. ”
