    Luscious Leek Potato Soup Under an Hour

    November 15, 2016

Since the recipe calls for the canned tomatoes to be placed in a food processor, I cored out my tomatoes, quartered them, pulsed twice in my Vitamix to make a chunky puree, perfect for this recipe.   Do not use “no-boil” lasagna noodles in this recipe, as they will fall apart during cooking.  Make sure to use either whole-milk or part-skim ricotta, as the NON-FAT ricotta will result in a very…
