We've now moved to our retreat and retirement home in Marion on the southern coast of Massachusetts full-time. And we are spending the winters in our Florida townhome in Fort Myers. We spend a lot of time in our kitchens and love to cook for ourselves and others. I guess you can call us foodies and we love it.

Potage Belgique
I used to make this wonderful soup often. It's from San Francisco a la Carte, one of my favorite cookbooks. I'm hoping to make it over the Christmas holiday this year.
4 T butter
5 large leeks washed and thinly sliced
1/2 lb mushrooms thinly sliced
4 cups chicken stock
salt and pepper
4 med. pot, peeled and diced
1 cup light cream
chopped chives for garnish.
Saute leeks and mushrooms in butter 5 min. Add chicken stock, salt and pepper. Add potatoes and simmer 30 min. Blend all in blender until smooth, adding cream. Garnish with cream.
