It was a dark and stormy night....
We rented "Captain America" and made sandwiches and soup.
The movie 5 stars. The soup 5 stars. Snuggled inside while
it poured outside 5 stars.
Leek Potato soup, oh yeah, yum..........nope Sunday's Child can't wait for Tuesdays Treats to share this heavenly recipe. Stop by if you need buttermilk as I have extra.
1 pound leeks, cleaned and dark green sections removed, approximately 4 to 5 medium
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Heavy pinch kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
14 ounces, approximately 3 small, Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced small
1 quart vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon snipped chives
Directions
Chop the leeks into small pieces.
In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the potatoes and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 45 minutes.
Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, or chill and serve cold.
I served it warm and with the exception of using black pepper instead of white I followed the directions to a tee.
It was the perfect comfort food for a fall evening. I highly recommend the movie and the soup. Both were out of this world.
yum
