Brotchan Foltchep - Potato & Leek Soup image

This traditional soup used to be made with leak and oatmeal and has been served in Ireland for generations. Most cooks now prefer to combine leeks with potatoes, however, to make this perennial favorite. This recipe is also called Brotchan Roy meaning "A broth fit for a king". The word "roy" is derived from Ri - the Irish word for King. Savory hot biscuits are a fine accompaniment for soup. Add the herb seasoning of your choice to your biscuit mix before adding the liquid.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really thick. I had to add a lot of milk to thin it out.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery. I think I may have added too much liquid.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it flavorful.

This is one of my favorite soup recipes. It's so versatile - you can add different vegetables or meats to change up the flavor. I also like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.
