Fennel, Garlic and Potato Soup image

This anise-scented soup is reminiscent of the classic potato and leek soup known as vichyssoise, but it's lighter and contains no dairy. It's good hot or cold.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer, side dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 large or 1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 pounds bulb fennel, trimmed, washed and diced
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
6 garlic cloves or 1/2 head green garlic, peeled and cut in half
Salt to taste
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a couple of sprigs each parsley and thyme, 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds and 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns, tied in cheesecloth
2 quarts water, vegetable stock or chicken stock
Freshly ground pepper
Chopped fresh fennel fronds
Lightly crushed fennel seeds

Shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the onion, celery, chopped fennel and a generous pinch of salt.

  • Remove the bouquet garni. Blend the soup until smooth with an immersion blender, or ladle into a blender, working in 1 1/2-cup batches.

Heat through, add salt and pepper to taste and serve, or chill and serve cold, with your choice of garnishes.

GREEN GARLIC, POTATO AND LEEK SOUP



Green Garlic, Potato and Leek Soup image

A very pale green springtime cousin of vichyssoise, this purée is comforting when served hot, refreshing when cold.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 1h

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 pound green garlic (weight includes stalks)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound leeks, white and light green parts only, rinsed thoroughly and sliced
1 small celery rib, sliced about 1/4 cup
Salt to taste
1 pound Yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 quarts water, vegetable stock or chicken stock
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf and 2 sprigs each thyme and parsley
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, chervil or tarragon

Steps:

  • Trim off the tough green ends of the garlic bulbs. If the garlic has formed cloves, separate them and remove the thick shells from the tender cloves. If it has not formed cloves, just remove the outside layers. Chop coarsely. You should have about 1 cup chopped green garlic.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, green garlic, celery and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook gently for five to 10 minutes until the vegetables have softened but not colored. Add the potatoes, water, bouquet garni and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
  • Purée the soup using an immersion blender. Alternatively, purée in a standing blender working in 1 1/2-cup batches; pull a towel tightly over the top, rather than a tight-fitting lid, to prevent splashes. Put through a medium strainer, pressing the soup through with the back of a ladle or with a pestle. Reheat, taste and adjust salt. Add freshly ground pepper. Ladle into soup bowls, and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley, chervil or chopped fresh tarragon over each serving. Alternatively, chill and serve cold. You can thin out if you wish with milk or stock.

COLD GARLIC POTATO SOUP



Cold Garlic Potato Soup image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Garlic     Potato     Quick & Easy     Summer     Chill     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 3 1/2 cups, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup finely chopped white part of leek, washed well and drained
4 large garlic cloves, chopped coarse
1 tablespoon olive oil
a 1/2-pound russet (baking) potato
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan cook the leek and the garlic with salt and pepper to taste in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the leek just begins to soften, add the potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, and the broth, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potato is very tender. In a blender purée the mixture in batches, transferring the soup as it is puréed to a metal bowl set in a larger bowl of ice and cold water. Let the soup cool, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until it is cold, stir in the cream, the chives, and salt and pepper to taste, and divide the soup between 2 bowls.

Tips:

  • For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches.
  • If you don't have any buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 10 minutes.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked potatoes. Just be sure to let them cool completely before adding them to the soup.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs like chives, dill, or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve the soup chilled or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day, so feel free to make a big batch and enjoy it all week!
