CREAMY FRENCH FRY AND SCALLION SOUP



Creamy French Fry and Scallion Soup image

Our Chopped Dinner Challenge this week was French fries. We wanted to use them in a totally new way without frying so we turned them into a flavorful soup! Chopped Basket Ingredient: French fries

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon
2 fresh rosemary sprigs, cut in half
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (white, light green and dark green parts kept separate)
4 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 pound frozen shoestring-style French fries (about 6 cups), thawed
1/2 baguette, sliced in half lengthwise
1/3 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Set the oven to broil with a rack set about 4 inches from the heat source.
  • Peel the zest away from the lemon in long strips, avoiding the white pith. Place the lemon zest, rosemary sprigs and oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and heat until the oil just comes to a simmer, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to sit at room temperature while you prepare the soup.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the white and light green parts of the scallions (about 1/2 cup) and the garlic. Cook until softened, stirring constantly, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, 2 cups water and the French fries, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer uncovered until the potatoes soften and start to break apart in the broth, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, strain the rosemary and lemon strips from the oil. Juice the lemon and whisk into the strained oil. Season with salt and pepper. Brush some of the oil onto the halved baguette, place on a baking sheet and broil until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are fully softened, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth. Season with additional salt if needed.
  • To serve, ladle the soup into bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with some of the remaining rosemary-lemon oil and garnish with the dark scallion greens. Cut the baguette into smaller pieces and serve alongside the soup.

FRENCH ONION SOUP POTATO GRATIN



French Onion Soup Potato Gratin image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, wrapper reserved
5 large Spanish onions, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 3/4 cup beef stock
2 tablespoons sherry
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound Gruyere, shredded
8 ounces mozzarella, shredded
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups beef stock
One 4 1/2-ounce bag premade croutons, lightly crushed
One 3 1/2-ounce bag French fried onions

Steps:

  • For the caramelized onions: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add a large handful of the onions and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until all the onions have been added. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn medium brown, about 30 minutes. If the onions start to get too dark, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef stock as necessary. Add the sherry to deglaze the pan. Add the mustard and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the potato gratin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices. Do your best to keep the potatoes in a stack--this will make it easier to layer them in the pan. Set the potatoes aside.
  • Use the reserved butter wrapper to lightly grease the bottom and sides of a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet. Discard the wrapper.
  • Arrange a thin shingled layer of potatoes in concentric circles around the skillet. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then arrange an even layer of caramelized onions on top of the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the Gruyere and mozzarella and reserve half for later use. Sprinkle on a layer of the remaining cheese mixture over the onions. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients (not including the reserved cheese) have been used. Press down firmly on the layers to flatten.
  • In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the heavy cream and beef stock and pour over the gratin. Cover the skillet with foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake the potatoes, covered, until the top and edges have begun to brown and the potatoes are tender, 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes. You can test by inserting a knife into the potatoes; if it goes in and comes out without resistance, then the potatoes are done.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, remove the foil and turn the broiler on high. Combine the croutons and French fried onions. Cover the gratin with a layer of the crouton mixture followed by the remaining cheese. Broil until golden brown and bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Remove foil and top pork chops with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese and remaining half-can French-fried onions; continue baking until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
