The leek potato soup was surprisingly flavorful despite having only 3 base ingredients: leeks, potatoes and vegetable broth.

Changes I made:

• Used a can of broth in addition to 1 qt
• Used only ½ c. of buttermilk
• Generously salt and peppered the soup when in bowl

Shitake mushroom pizza used fresh shitake mushrooms from the Ferry Building Farmer’s Market ($4 for a box), Trader Joe’s pizza dough that I bought a few months ago and had in the freezer, generous amounts of mozzarella because my friend loves cheese, the perfect amount of tomato sauce.
