'Leeky' Cauldrons: Leek Soup in Pretzel Bun Bowls

'Leeky' Cauldrons: Leek Soup in Pretzel Bun Bowls was pinched from <a href="http://www.thedailymeal.com/recipes/leeky-cauldrons-leek-soup-pretzel-bun-bowls-recipe" target="_blank">www.thedailymeal.com.</a>

"Inspired by the Leaky Cauldron, one of Harry’s frequent Diagon Alley haunts, this hearty take on classic leek soup warms me right down to my soul. The bacon, potatoes, and leeks all come together to make the ultimate comfort food, but the bun bowls are what really set this dish apart.  Since rolls and soup are featured so often as sides, mini bread bowls seemed like the perfect way to marry two sides together. Of course, you can use any kind of bread you want. I chose pretzel bread because it’s hearty and resembles cauldrons (pumpernickel is great too!). Just be sure the variety you choose has a hard outer crust (to prevent the soup from soaking through). Bon  appetit! For more great recipes like this one, visit Alison's Wonderland Recipes. ..."
