Ingredients:
- 1 heaping cup potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 heaping cup leeks, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced (optional)
- bouquet garni
Directions:
- In a large saucepan, heat butter and oil; add vegetables and sauté for 5 minutes. Do not brown. Add stock and seasoning; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer gently for 30 minutes until vegetables are soft.
- Puree in a blender or with an electric mixer. If too thin, return to pan; blend flour with a little water and whisk into soup. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Serve in warmed soup bowls with croutons, melba toast, brown bread or rolls. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley.
- *Bouquet Garni:
- 1 bay leaf, 3 sprigs of thyme, 4 large sprigs of parsely (including stalks), one 4 inch piece of celery stalk with leaves, two 4 inch pieces of leek (green part).
- Place the bay leaf, thyme, parsley and celery on one piece of green leek. Cover with remaining piece of green leek. Tie securely with fine string, leaving a length of string attached so that the bouquet garni can be easily retrieved.
