Cawl Cennin Leek And Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and dice the potatoes and slice the leeks thinly.
• Simmer the potatoes and leeks together with the chicken stock, salt, and pepper and cook for 40 to 50 minutes until potatoes and leeks soft.
• Mash the vegetables or puree them in a food processor.
• Check the seasonings and reheat, adding the cream, be careful not to boil at this stage.
• Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Clean the leeks thoroughly, chop them roughly, and set a little of the green aside for garnish.
• Melt the butter and cook the vegetables under cover without browning them.
• Add the stock and bring to a low boil; simmer for 1 hour, skimming if necessary.
• Rub the soup through a sieve or whirl in a blender.
• Reheat the soup, stir in the parsley, minced green of leeks, and diced meat (if used).
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the cream, correct seasoning, and serve garnished with croutons.

Steps:

• Halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse away any grit. Thinly slice the leeks crosswise. In a small square of cheesecloth, tie together bay leaves, thyme, sage, parsley and celery leaves if using.
• Melt the butter or heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
• Stir in stock or water, the sachet of herbs, the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce immediately to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and simmer soup until potatoes are very tender and falling apart, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, drizzle a small amount of cream into each bowl when serving, and top with parsley for garnish.
