Urulai Kizhangu Kanji - Potato And Leek Soup

URULAI KIZHANGU KANJI /
POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
 I wondered how a Urulai Kizhangu Kanji would taste, while my daughter-in-law started preparing Potato and Leek soup for dinner. I loved the aroma when the soup arrived at the dinner table. The easy to make delicious soup is a nourishing and comforting meal by itself. I was very happy to eat potatoes in a healthy way.
