Cold soups and warm summerdays - a match made in heaven. Try this one out. It's smooth and silky and really easy to make.
Ingredients: 1 leek with the green part removed, 5-6 potatoes, 1 onion, 2 tbls butter, 1/2 l. chicken broth, 1/3 l. milk, some cream if you like. Ah, and salt, pepper and some nutmeg.
Clean the leek well by cutting it down the middle and rinse properly between the leafs. Chop finely.
Chop the onion finely as well.
Melt the butter in a pot.
Add the leek and onion and sweat it at medium low temp.
Meanwhile cut potatoes into 1-2 cm cubes.
When the onion and leek is translucent add the potato.
Add the chicken broth and boil under lid for 35 minutes.
Then add pepper and nutmeg to taste. Don't add salt yet.
Blend into a fine pure.
Add the milk and blend a bit more
And finaly add the cream if you want. It can easily be left out though and you'll have a fine soup anyway. Now is the time to taste for salt. Cool down in the fridge. Yes, this soup is served cold. If you serve warm it's called "potage parmentier".
Bon appetit. (Though there are doubts whether this was actually an American invention).
