When one thinks of Ireland and potatoes, one's thoughts are probably of the great Irish potato famine of about 170 years ago, that was the making of much of the United States. The cream of Ireland emigrated to the new world. Living for four years in Chicago one was frequently reminded of the great contribution the Irish have made to every level of society in the USA. Even the Chicago river turned green on St Patrick's Day!

And if you think of the Netherlands, you probably think of tulips. Well the tulips are beautiful... "she who must be obeyed" and an Australian friend showing off!

JUST MAKE IT!

• The green part of your leek needs to be carefully washed - it's usually full of grit. Cut off the green upper third, split, and carefully wash. Chop.
• Drop a good dollop of butter into a pot, turn to moderate heat and toss in your chopped leeks.
• Peel and clean the other ingredients, tossing them. Stir.

TWO OPTIONS

1. Chicken based stock
2. Salmon filet

Both are great, and I recommend you try both. For the first, you use your Chicken Bones bouillon.

For the second, add two cups of boiling water to your ingredients and the salmon, chopped in pieces.

Add a dollop of cream, and sprinkle with chives and parsley.

Delic! Healthy slow food made fast.

BERNIE'S LEEK AND SALMON SOUP

Time on your hands? Love to fiddle in the kitchen? This is the queen of all soups. You follow the recipe above but, instead of the chicken bouillon or filet of salmon, you make a salmon bouillon.

It means a trip to the fish market to buy a salmon skeleton and head (once the filets have been removed) which I buy for one euro. There is so much goodness remaining, and it usually is consigned to the trash. No wonder our seas are being deplenished at an alarming rate, and starvation faces the world. We waste so much...

But you will have a Irish potato leek soup, with salmon, that is to die for. Astonishingly, proven, heart- and cartilage-protective, actually you'll live to a happy, healthy ninety for sure. With your marbles intact, because the Omega-3 in salmon oil protects your brain...

You'll find the recipe to make fish bouillon at the fish oil health benefits page. Once you've bought your salmon backbone, it takes 3/4 hour of cooking and ten minutes of fiddle. Voilà! FISH OIL HEALTH BENEFITS ...
