My family generally loves to eat potatoe soup. The day before yesterday I ate a very delicious one at franky`s in water station Mühlheim an der Ruhr, and with the following simple recipe, I dare to combine with Hubert`s
creamy Wine Soup.
(organic) ingredients:
1,2kg mealy potatoes
4 leeks
70g butter
1/2l vegetable stock
salt/pepper grind
fresh grind nutmeg
3 bay leaves
100g cream
3tbsp. olive oil
Preparation:
Wash and peel potatoes. Dice potatoes, leave a big one aside. Brush and wash leek. Cut white part into slices, a bid of green part into stripes.
Use a pot, melt a good portion of butter, to saute leek. Add potatoes,
saute it for a short time. Add vegetable stock, season with salt, pepper,
bay leaves and nutmeg, put lid on pot and simmer for 15 minutes at medium heat.
I put some soup away, leave 1,9l soup, add Huberts soup.
puree soup, add cream, bring again to a short boil, season with salt and pepper.
Cube potatoe, left aside. Use a pan, to bring oil and butter to a strong heat
and roast potatoe cubes golden colored and crunchy.
Serve soup, topped with potatoe cubes and leek stripes.
I sieve 0.5l into the transporting bowl and pass it over to Henrike.
