Recipe Comix: Soupe d'Hiver
"Draw us a recipe." That's the brief we sent to a slew of our favorite comic artists earlier this year; each week, we're thrilled to present what they sent back. They're fantastic, beautiful, hilarious, thoughtful, informative, and often all of the above — and they prove that a recipe doesn't just have to be words on paper.

This week's Recipe Comic comes to us from Carolita Johnson, a model-turned-cartoonist whose work appears in the New Yorker and The Hairpin. Here, she shares a recipe for a potato-leek soup so simple that she could pull it off even during her Parisian days as a "hypoglycemically addled" professionally pretty person.

I wanted to let you know that I made this soup in a crock-pot in my office today. I brought leeks, another co-worker brought the potatoes, another brought the onion, yet another brought garlic, and our boss brought sweet cream butter.
The soup was *delicious*, and I think it was made even more so by the fact that we all had a hand in making the soup.
I thought you'd appreciate knowing that you helped brighten our Thursday at the office :).
I'm so glad to hear this! It's a wonderful recipe, and the book that I found it in seems to have gone out of print, and I can't find the recipe anywhere else. So I'm glad I disseminated it here, and that at least you and I are keeping it alive! :)
