Potato leek soup, a German staple. And always with a Frankfurter Wuerstchen ( sausage ) in it ;) Contrary to most german cooks, I season the soup with Thai fishsauce and not Maggi.
Ingredients
- 2 tb butter shopping list
- 2 lg. leek, halved lengthwise, cleaned under running water and cut into 1/4 inch rings ( be sure to thoroughly clean the leek, they are often very sandy ) shopping list
- 1/2 onion, diced shopping list
- 800 g potatoes, peeled and diced shopping list
- 1 1/2 ltr. water shopping list
- S+P, nutmeg shopping list
- 1 tb Thai fishsauce shopping list
- 1/2 cup heavy cream shopping list
- parsley, minced shopping list
- 1 frankfurter sausage per person shopping list
How to make it
- Heat butter in large pot, until foamy. Cook leek and onion for 8 min., until soft, but not brown. Add potatoes, water and salt. Simmer for 20 min, or until potatoes are tender. Add parsley, mix with the immersion blender, until very smooth. Add cream, nutmeg, pepper and fishsauce, put in Frankfurter and heat through. Adjust seasoningss, laddle in deep soup bowls, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve.
- Note : If you add some more cream and mix the soup in a blender to get it supersmooth, than refrigerate it for 4 or 5 hours and serve it cold, you got a french classic : Vichyssoise.

Mmmmm.....that looks like a lovely warm soup for a cold winter's day Ralph. I make a similar soup to that with onions, and potatoes. Love the idea of the fish sauce as a flavour booster. And who can resist a frankfurter right? Bookmarked to try.

Had this bookmarked 5 years ago and finally made it for lunch today! Subbed home made chicken broth for the water and evaporated milk for the cream. This soup is velvety and flavourful. A bowl full of yumminess. Thanks Ralph!
