Your potato and leek soup does look yummy!
So easy to prepare. Tell me about the blender and what brand do you own. I have seen you use it a few times and was always curious about it.
Hi,
My
immersion blender is a Braun which is no longer manufactured. There
are a bunch on the market but you probably want one with at least 350
watts of power.. Mine also has a whisk attachment which whips cream or
egg whites in a flash, a mini processor and a blender.
