Precautions
Immersion blenders are great conveniences because you dont need to dirty
the blenderthe immersion blender can just be rinsed offand theres no trans-
ferring of hot liquids from one container to another. If youre pureeing hot soup in
a regular blender, never fill the blender more than half full. Hold the lid on tightlywith a kitchen towel and start by pulsing on the lowest speed. Gradually increase
the duration and speed of the pulses until the air inside the blender has heated up
and no longer threatens to burst out the top.
Leek and Potato Soup
This simple and satisfying soup can be put together in about the time it takes toopen a can and can be made as a smooth cream soup or left chunky. Different pota-
toes create different effects. If you want pieces of potato with texture in the soup,
use white or red waxy potatoes and dice them. If you are pureeing the soup and
want a smooth texture, use Yukon Gold potatoes.
MAKES 1 QUART OR 4 FIRST-COURSE SERVINGS
1 large Yukon Gold potato or white or red waxy potato, peeled3 leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced
1 quart milk, water, or chicken broth
1/2cup heavy cream or 4 tablespoons butter
Salt
Pepper
If you are making a pureed soup, thinly slice the Yukon Gold potato lengthwise. If you are
making a chunky soup, cut the waxy potato into 1/3-inch dice. In a pot, combine thepotatoes, leeks, and milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for about 25 minutes, or
until the potatoes and leeks are completely soft.
If you are serving a chunky soup, add the cream, bring to a simmer, and season with
salt and pepper. Or, if using butter, cut the butter into pats and place a pat on each serving.
