Russian Leek And Potato Soup Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mystic_river1 / All my dishes 2 years, 2 months ago This beautiful Russian bisque is delightfully flavored and perfect for cold days. It will lift the bleakness of winter and warm you, body and soul. Strange, but I love Hawaiian sweet bread or any sweet muffins with this...kind of balances the soup.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of extra virgin pine nut oil

2 tablespoons of butter

3 large leeks (about 1 1/2 lbs), thinly sliced

1 large red or white onion, chopped

2 1/2 to 3 lbs of white potatoes, peeled and cubed into small pieces

1 cup dry white wine or sherry

5+1/2 cups of chicken stock

3/4 cup of whipping cream

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh, minced parsley

more broth - about 1/2 of a cup.

Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 2-3 minutes, just to warm through. Garnish with parsley.

Directions

Heat pine nut oil in a stock pot. Add butter and follow immediately with leeks and onions.

Saute over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt.

Add wine and reduce by 1/2.

Add potatoes and stock. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

Cool by placing your cooking vessel in ice water for a few minutes, then puree the mixture in a blender.

Place the puree back into the stock pot and mix in the cream. Add a bit more broth - about 1/2 of a cup.

Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 2-3 minutes, just to warm through. Garnish with parsley.

Sounds nice but where do you get extra virgin pine nut oil? It sounds expensive...(the pine nut oil, not all of it...)
