Carrot and Leek Soup

Simple to make, this soup can be served hot or cold.


# 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter
# 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon
# 3 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, washed well and cut across into 1/2-inch (1-cm) lengths
# 5 large carrots, peeled and cut across into thin slices
# 3 cups (750 ml) Basic Chicken Stock (page 345) or commercial chicken broth
# 1/2 cup (125 ml) heavy cream
# Kosher salt, to taste
# Freshly ground white pepper, to taste


In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the cardamom and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the leeks. Cover with a lid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in the carrots and stock. Bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 13 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.

In a food processor or blender, purée the soup. If using a blender, work in batches of no more than 2 cups (500 ml). Stir in the cream. The soup can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated.

Remove from the refrigerator and serve cold, or heat through to serve hot. Season with salt and white pepper.

Makes 6 cups (1.5 L); 4 to 5 first-course servings

Have to stop by Whole Foods on the way home to pick up a few things, so I'll probably grab something there. I've been craving salmon burgers, so I'm thinking that, with some avocado and leftover black beans on the side. Probably no bun on the salmon burger.
