30 minute Gourmet Soup

October 18, 2009

After a recent trip to Trader Joes (do you have one of those….they’re dangerous) I snaged these great items:

And I thought it would be fun to post how I use them all. most of them.
(…..I already scarfed down the Mango slices….)

Anyway, I’ll start it off with how I use the Whipping Cream:

Potato Leek Soup

-3 Potatoes
-2 White onions
-1 Bunch of leeks
-Chicken Stock
-Whipping Cream
-Thyme, Rosemary, Salt & Pepper

It really couldn’t get any easier, and it’s absolutely DELICIOUS! People think it’s so good, and gourmet…but it’s not. (If you serve it in a bread bowl it’ll really knock their socks off!)

Here are the instructions:

Bring some Chicken stock to a boil:

Cut up your leeks:

After 30 Minutes Turn to LOW and Add in your Thyme and Rosemary:

Then Add in your Whip Cream (half the container):

Salt & Pepper to taste, Serve in a bowl with CRUSTY bread for dipping:

(I like my all chunky, but Hubby likes his Potatoes smashed up a bit and the soup more thick…so if you like mash up some of the potatoes :)

Stay tuned….The Frying Cheese is next!

    I love potato leek soup! I’m going to try this for sure!
    Totally have the same prob w Traders.
    What I do with potatoes is blend them with a food processor or blender just on a few whirls to mix it well but not make it overly starchy & still keep it semi chunky.
