Cream Of Endive Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Mince the endives, reserving a few small leaves for garnish.
• Saute the onion, garlic, and endives in the butter for 3 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and chicken broth and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
• Blend until smooth, using an immersion blender, or carefully transferring hot soup to blender and then back to pot.
• Add the milk, salt, and pepper and blend. Serve hot or cold.
• Garnish with chopped endive leaves, chives, and dill.

Steps:

• Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Rinse well under cold running water to remove any grit. Thinly slice crosswise; set aside.
• Cut endives in half lengthwise, and cut out and discard the cores. Thinly slice crosswise; set aside.
• Peel potatoes, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside in a bowl of cold water.
• Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks; cook until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Drain potatoes well; add to pot along with sliced endive. Cook until vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes; do not let brown.
• Add wine and stock, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until vegetables are very tender, about 1 hour. Cool slightly.
• Transfer soup in batches to a blender (fill no more than halfway), or pass it through a food mill. Return to a clean saucepan; stir in cream. Bring to a simmer; remove from heat. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Garnish with endive.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, 1/2 cup of cilantro, and mushrooms; cook and stir until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Stir in the endive and remaining cilantro. Add the milk, and simmer for about 30 minutes over low heat. Season with cayenne pepper to taste.
• Place the yogurt in a separate pan or bowl, and gradually ladle in about 2 cups of the hot broth while stirring constantly. Stir this mixture back into the main soup pot, and remove from heat. If this procedure is not followed, the yogurt will break down into little bits. It will still taste good, but does not look the same. Ladle into bowls, and garnish with additional fresh cilantro.

Steps:

• Mince the endives, reserving a few small leaves for garnish.

• Puree the soup in a blender or a food processor, then return it to the saucepan.
