Potato
Surprise Soup |
||||
| 1
tbsp olive oil
1 leek, sliced 2 cups chicken broth 1 lb potatoes, diced to medium size pieces Sausage of your choice 1 cup milk Salt and pepper 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese In a pot, saute leeks in oil until soft. Add Broth and bring to a simmer while chopping potatoes. Add potatoes, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender (ten-fifteen minutes). While potatoes are cooking, fry up some sausage. When potatoes are done, puree and add milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. (If too thick, add a little more broth.) Put sausage on the bottom of the bowl, pour soup on top, and garnish with cheese. (Guy's
variation: with milk, add about a third a block of cream cheese and mix
in thoroughly. Makes it quite yummy.) |
