Spring vegetable/2 recipes

As I do not own a bread machine, I adapted this recipe to make in my KitchenAid stand mixer using the dough hook. I kept the igredients basically the same, with the exception of adding 1 1/2 Tbs. honey. I baked it in a 9" x 5" loaf pan.

Everyone will love this rustic country dish of creamy leek and potato soup cooked in a pressure cooker.
