Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 3/4 pounds leeks (white and pale-green parts only), rinsed well and cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
Coarse salt
1 pound parsnips, peeled and cut 1/4 inch thick
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut 1/4 inch thick
3 cups chicken stock
2 dried bay leaves
1/2 cup whole milk
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
1 jar (2 ounces) whitefish or other caviar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the soup: Cut a round of parchment to fit inside a large pot. Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Add leeks and a pinch of salt, and cover with parchment round (this will help keep moisture in). Cook, lifting parchment to stir occasionally, until leeks are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Stir in parsnips, potatoes, chicken stock, 2 1/2 cups water, bay leaves, and 1 teaspoon salt. Raise heat to high, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, partially covered with lid, until parsnips are soft, about 20 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Working in batches, puree vegetable mixture in a blender, being sure to hold lid down.
  • Return soup to pot, and stir in milk. Reheat soup over medium heat (do not boil).
  • Make the black-pepper cream: Stir 1/4 teaspoon pepper into creme fraiche.
  • Ladle soup into 8 small bowls, and top each with a dollop of black-pepper cream and 1/2 teaspoon caviar.

I don't think this soup is worth the effort. It's not that great.

This soup is way too expensive to make. I could have gotten a better meal at a restaurant for the same price.

I had a hard time finding salmon pearls. I ended up using regular fish eggs, which worked out just fine.

This soup was a little bit bland for me. I think I would have preferred it with a little more spice.

I would have liked the soup to be a little thicker, but other than that, it was perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of parsnips, but this soup changed my mind! The sweetness of the parsnips pairs perfectly with the leeks and salmon pearls.
