Leek Soup with Sausage and Potatoes

Potato soup with leek and sausage
It is not too cold outside. But it was a strange day. I had so many things to say, but I did not. Sometimes it is too late to say a word. But anyway, I was a kind of sad and wanted to prepare something to warm me up from the inside, a healthy, filling meal. Celebration of life, joy of the little things. Soup prepared with simple ingredients, but with love and affection. Tasty and satisfying. It turned out absolutely delicious. Here is the recipe:

  • 3 stalks of leek, white and pale green parts only, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
