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.

This was a really good soup! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe and I will definitely making it again. I didn't have any leeks so I used green onions instead and it was still delicious.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used russet potatoes instead of Yukon Gold potatoes and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but this soup was amazing! The leeks added a subtle sweetness to the soup that I really enjoyed. I will definitely be making this again.
