Potato-Leek Soup
From Good Housekeeping triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
INGREDIENTS conv. chart U.S. Metric
3/4 pound(s) (2 large) leeks
1 pound(s) (2 medium) baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon(s) dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon(s) soy sauce
1 1/3 cup(s) chicken broth
1 1/2 cup(s) half-and-half or light cream
1/2 cup(s) heavy or whipping cream
2 tablespoon(s) very thinly sliced green onion (green part only)
DIRECTIONS
Cut off roots and trim dark green tops from leeks. Discard any tough outer leaves. Cut each leek lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Rinse leeks thoroughly in large bowl of cold water, swishing to remove sand. Transfer leeks to colander to drain, leaving sand in bottom of bowl. Repeat process, changing water several times, until all sand is removed.
In 4-quart saucepan, combine potatoes, salt, oregano, thyme, pepper, bay leaf, half of leeks, and 3 cups water; cover and heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cook 5 minutes or until potatoes are very tender. Discard bay leaf.
Meanwhile, in nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add remaining leeks and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until leeks are tender, stirring frequently. Stir in soy sauce and cook 1 to 2 minutes or just until leeks are evenly browned, stirring constantly. Transfer leek mixture to saucepan with potato mixture; stir in broth.
In batches, ladle potato mixture into blender; cover, with center part of cover removed to allow steam to escape, and blend until pureed. Pour puree into large bowl. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Return puree to same saucepan; stir in half-and-half and heavy cream. Heat soup over low heat just until heated through, stirring occasionally (do not boil). Serve soup hot, or cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours to serve chilled later. Sprinkle soup with sliced green onion to serve.
