Gotta try this.<br /><br />Not to confuse things, but the leeks (Welsh) are the other half of the haggis (Scottish), and the saffron and chickpeas (Moroccan) are the other half of the Herring (Eastern European).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05067701610011192772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506255364365307975.post-868505374444572562011-01-06T18:45:32.214-05:002011-01-06T18:45:32.214-05:00Oh boy - that looks good.

I have often made a Jamie Oliver leek & chickpea soup that I really enjoy, but with the addition of almonds, saffron and cilantro I just know that I am going to like this a whole lot more! I obviously need to get that Kitchen Express book - I remember a lot of people raving about it when we were cooking with Bittman at IHCC. Thanks so much for sharing this with "Making it with .... Mondays" - challenge saffron :-)<br />SueCouscous & Consciousnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616224893242380904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506255364365307975.post-14826404201332721412010-12-19T11:37:15.715-05:002010-12-19T11:37:15.715-05:00You will be in the spotlight with this recipe at M...You will be in the spotlight with this recipe at My Meatless Mondays.

I also love how quick it is and I just get ravenous when I read a soup recipe. I like the brightening you did with this! A definite will-do. And Heather, when I get writer's block (and yes the holidays fill your head), I edit what I've done. I've already created and sometimes it is grand to have some time away from a piece and visit it anew.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15601656778586008081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506255364365307975.post-53181824035439567362010-12-12T21:27:19.767-05:002010-12-12T21:27:19.767-05:00What a combo of ingrediants.
