SOUP RECIPE #13 #30DaysofSoupRecipes TWO POTATO SOUP I picked up my CSA share today and it was full of dark leafy greens, fennel, kohlrabi & dill. Heres a scrumptious recipe that will help me use the dill! Gurubachan the creator of this fine soup says: It is simple, luscious, creamy without dairy, and satisfying. It is amazing to find out that soups can be made without consommé — which is essentially meat fat. In general people think every soup should have meat broth to taste good and rich. All the soups I make are very satisfying and delicious without it. So try this soup for your next lunch or dinner and serve with special grilled or toasted bread with whipped Goat Cheese and Basil Spread. You will be very satisfied. TWO POTATO SOUP 2 tbsp butter or ghee (clarified butter) 2 ½ lbs small white potatoes (washed) 1 ¼ lbs sweet potatoes (washed) 2 ½ cups diced leeks 2 ½ cups diced celery 1 clove garlic (mashed) 1 bunch fresh chopped dill Salt & pepper to taste Place all potatoes (except 3 small white) in a pot and cover with water and cook until soft. Peel and dice the other 3 potatoes and add to the rest of the diced vegetables. In a separate pot melt the butter or ghee and add the leeks. Sauté until a slightly brown. Then add the rest of the vegetables (including the diced potatoes) and sauté them until tender. Add water to cover the vegetables and bring to a boil, lower heat and cook well. After the whole potatoes are cooked, peel them and blend in a blender or food processor with the same water until smooth (make sure you do not blend the potatoes too long because they become very starchy ). Add the pureed potatoes to the vegetables that are boiling. Add the mashed garlic, salt, and pepper to taste, and cook on low heat stirring regularly to be sure that it doesn’t stick. Cook until vegetables are nice and soft on the bottom. Before you serve add the chopped dill. GOAT CHEESE & BASIL SPREAD ¼ cup olive oil 12 oz goat cheese or any soft cheese to your liking 1 small clove garlic ½ cup fresh chopped basil Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Spread on a slice of grilled or toasted French or sour dough bread or crackers of your choice. Serve with a nice bowl of delicious Two Potato Soup.
