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
  1. Heat pine nut oil in a stock pot. Add butter and follow immediately with leeks and onions.
  2. Saute over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt.
  3. Add wine and reduce by 1/2.
  4. Add potatoes and stock. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
  5. Cool by placing your cooking vessel in ice water for a few minutes, then puree the mixture in a blender.
  6. Place the puree back into the stock pot and mix in the cream. Add a bit more broth - about 1/2 of a cup.
  7. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 2-3 minutes, just to warm through. Garnish with parsley.
