This fall and winter my friend and I quilt every Friday at her home. I bring the soup and Bon does the crackers, cheese, fruit and dessert. It's always a great day. Sometimes we do more coffee drinking and chatting than quilting!!! Last week we had leek and potato soup- we both enjoyed the comfort of a piping hot bowl of soup.
Oops .....no picture - we ate it and then said it needed to go up on the blog for future reference. Lol. Next batch a picture will get posted. One nice thing is that this is a creamy soup but not thickened. Tip: don't skip the celery in the recipe or the bay leaf . It's all about the flavour.
Ingredients:
Leek
Potato
Celery
White pepper
Kosher salt
Bay leaf
Half and half creamer
Milk
Start in large pot - 2 large leek cleaned,chopped, not much green stalk - with 3 tbsp butter. Low heat simmer 5 mins. Add 2 big celery stalks cleaned and chopped. Weep about 8 mins more on low. Add 1 bay leaf , 1 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp white pepper.
Add 4 potato cleaned and chopped in small pieces. Also add 4 cups water and 1 knorr suisse chicken bouillon. Low to simmer for half an hour to 45 mins. Use a fork to check all veggies are soft. Remove bay leaf. And remove pot from heat.
Using a mixer beat the soup. You will get a creamy soup but still a few small chunks and pieces. There will be some celery strings on the beaters, clean and discard.
Return to heat on stove . Add 1 cup half and half cream plus 1 cup milk. Cook for another 15 minutes on low. (Do not boil the milk .). Stir occasionally. Finished!
Serve with grated cheese and bacon bits 😊
