Purple Potato Sage & Leek Soup
- 2 lb Purple Potatoes
- 2 cup Large Leeks (sliced thin)
- 1/4 cup Chopped Red Onion
- 2 clove Large Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 quart Chicken (or Veg) stock
- 1/4 cup Fresh Sage (chopped)
- 4 oz Heavy Cream
- 1 tbsp Sea Salt
- 1 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper
- Cold water rinse then salt/brine boil whole potatoes until fork can spear them (about 30-40 minutes)
- Chop garlic, onion, sage and leeks, then melt butter in a pan and saute until softened (about 3-4 minutes) leeks should still be slightly firm.
- Then add 1 cup stock to pan and stir for about a minute until all the liquid is absorbed - turn heat off and let sit
- When potatoes are ready, rinse with cold water to stop cooking, then place them into a food processor or blender.
- whip.
- they will turn into a creamy/sticky/gooey consistency.
- Use some stock and whip in and loosen the goo then pour into soup pot
- Next put the sauteed veg into the processor and burst chop until minced (don't cremate or texture of soup will be off) - again use a bit of stock to loosen the buttery veg mix and mix in, then dump into pot and stir the whole mixture together while adding the remaining stock (less stock for a thicker consistency) and salt/pepper
- Bring to a medium boil while stirring frequently.
- At boil, lower to simmer and slowly stir in cream (can add more or less to preference).
- simmer 20 minutes on low heat to thicken (longer for thicker) and turn off heat.
- Let pot sit covered for 10-20 minutes with an occasional stir before serving to finish.
- Refrigerate excess immediately in an air tight container - do not freeze.
- Will keep 4-6 days if refrigerated and well sealed (zero air).
- The cream will spoil rapidly if left to sit/exposed to air
