There's more to life than short stories and depravity; in addition to drinking coffee, I enjoy a bit of cooking now and then. I don't know about the rest of you, but before doing a bit of bitterly cold pub-crawling I enjoy a spot of good soup and bread. Here's a recipe I've tried from off of the http://www.aftouch-cuisine.com site[i], with only a few minor alterations.
Preparation time: about 45 minutesServes: fourish
Y'all {the royal You} will need:
3/4# leeks [about 4]
3/4# potatoes [I use Yukon Gold]
3 oz butter [lightly salted]
1 1/4 cup of heavy cream
2 litres water
some thyme and two bay leaves
salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Ingredients:
1 cup chopped fresh mushroom
1/2 chopped sweet vidalia onion
1 clove garlic
croutons & cheese to garnish
Directions: finely chop up your leeks {keeping the white and whitish bits} and potatoes {I keep the skins on mine}. In your pot, melt the butter and add yon leeks. Cover and let simmer for 5 or 6 minutes. Add the potatoes, water, et al and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-35 minutes. If you planned to have garlic bread etc. on the side {recommended!} you may take this time to prepare it. Fish out your bay leaves and {this is important} stir in the cream until fully incorporated. Voilà! Garnish with ample whathaveyou, and enjoy.
