    When winter starts showing its sharp cold teeth, or after a lavish holiday feast, soups and stews are meals that are more than welcome in my home. So I'd like to share with you this wonderful Leek Potato Stew. It's one of my families favorite.

    It's a quite classic recipe, but yet somehow unique. This stew is light, creamy and made with all wholesome, healthy ingredients. Furthermore, this Leek Potato Stew is great flu-fighting buddy and will wash out all that accumulated holiday toxins right up from your body. A true natural medicine.

    This Leek Potato Stew is made with fresh seasonal vegetables - leeks, celeriac (celery root), carrots, and potatoes, that are full of healthy fibers, vitamins, and minerals. To make this Leek Potato Stew even healthier, I added super spice - TURMERIC, which is one of the most powerful natural remedies in the world.

    Turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant and immune booster. Turmeric is also great for cleansing and aiding our digestion - it reduces bloating, cleanses the liver and gallbladder, stimulates our metabolism. I really love turmeric and I use it daily.

    If you can stand "the heat", a spicy food, then you can also add a bit of cayenne pepper to the stew. Cayenne pepper also has anti-inflammatory effects and is excellent for our metabolism and our immunity.

    Stew is a wonderfully creamy, enriched with nutritious, protein-packed Greek yogurt. Quick note. Add Greek yogurt into stew after the stew is cooked, not while is cooking. That way yogurt will not lose its nutritional value.

    Also, add some extra virgin olive or flaxseed oil to boost up healthy omega-3 fats. Note that the flaxseed oil has a bitter taste so if you are not used to it, then olive oil is a better option for you.

    Leek Potato Stew is quick and easy to make and thus perfect for those busy weekdays, when you and your family craves for warm and comforting meal with the spoon. Stew can stand in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days and can be easily frozen, so don't worry if you got leftovers. Just put leftover stew in the fridge. This stew can be eaten chilled, so it's perfect in hot summer day too.
