     Potato-Leek Soup

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
1/2 lb Leeks (cleaned, trimmed and sliced 1/4 inch; white part only)
1 lb Russet Potatoes, peeled, dried and cut into 1/2 inch chunks
3 cups Water
2 tsp. Kosher Salt
1 Bay Leaf
3/4 tsp dried Oregano
3/4 tsp dried Thyme
1/2 tsp ground White Pepper
1-1/2 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 
1 tsp Soy Sauce
1-1/3 cups Chicken Stock
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1-1/2 cups Half-n-Half
2 T chopped Scallion Greens (optional garnish)

Instructions
Place half the leeks and all the potatoes, water, salt, herbs and spices in a 3-qt pot over medium heat. While the potatoes are cooking, cook the remaining leeks in olive oil in a seperate pan over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add soy sauce to leeks after they have begun to caramelize; they should not be crispy or black. Continue cooking gently, until the leeks are a uniform caramel color.
Add the stock to the leek pan and carefully pour leeks and stock into the potato pot. Use a rubber spatual to recover all pan drippings and add them to the potatoes.
When the potatoes are soft and crumbly, remove the pot from the burner; remove and discard bay leaf and process soup to a coarse puree. Return the soup to the pot, whisk in cream and half-and- half. Bring the soup to gentle boil and remove from heat.
Soup may be served at once. Garnish with chopped scallion greens or olives; or may be thoroughly chilled and served as vichyssoise.
