Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 medium potatoes
1 1/4 lbs leeks
3 sticks celery
2 large garlic cloves
1 liter chicken stock
3 scallions
salt and pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream (optional)
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel and chop the potatoes into half inch cubes.
  • Wash and chop the leeks, celery and scallions. They don't have to be chopped finely but not too chunky. Mince or finely chop the garlic.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add all of the vegetables. Over a medium heat, stir until the veg is coated in butter, then put the lid on and leave to sweat for ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is absorbed.
  • Add the stock, season, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are good and soft.
  • Remove from the heat and blend thoroughly. Add the cream and stir well.
  • You can either then put back onto the heat until steaming hot (do not let it boil) and serve, or cool and reheat later, or freeze.

This soup was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less kale. I also think it would have been better if I had used a different type of greens, such as spinach or collard greens.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less cayenne pepper. I also think it would have been better if I had used a different type of sausage, such as mild Italian sausage.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more milk or cream. I also think it would have been better if I had pureed the soup until it was smooth.
