- There is nothing like a good leek and potato soup, with-its mellow-texture and harmonious flavors. It feels like magic to be able to produce such a satisfying rendition of this recipe in a matter of min.
- My secret weapon is instant potato flakes. Just stir them in and watch the soup develop a creamy thickness and a distinctive potato flavor in about thirty seconds. While I wouldn't rave about instant mashed potatoes, the flakes are surprisingly delicious in this think soup.
- What about the green in the recipe's title I've taken the liberty of tampering with the classic components by adding spinach, that gives the soup a whole new dimension-plus cheerful flecks of verdant color.
- In a soup pot, heat 1 Tbsp. roasted garlic oil and saute/fry the leeks, stirring frequently, till they begin to brown, about 3 min. Add in the boiling water, stock pwdr, and salt and bring to a boil. Add in the spinach, cover, and cook, occasionally breaking up the block of spinach with a fork, till the spinach is cooked but still bright green, 5 to 8 min.
- Turn the heat down to a simmer and sprinkle in the potato flakes while you stir. The soup will thicken almost immediately Add in black pepper to taste and the additional Tbsp. of infused extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle each serving with the parsley if you wish.
- Green leek, potato, and corn soup: Add in 1 c. of defrosted corn kernels along with the potato flakes.
- Leek and potato soup with fresh chard: Omit the spinach and add in 1/2 lb. Swiss chard, trimmed and finely minced. Cook till the chard is tender, 3 to 5 min, before adding the potato flakes.
