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.

I was hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of garlic, but I'm so glad I did! The garlic flavor is not overpowering at all and the soup is really delicious.
