Potage Parmentier By Julia Child Food

POTATO LEEK SOUP (JULIA CHILD'S) POTAGE PARMENTIER RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large (6+ quart) stockpot or dutch oven, over medium heat. Add the leek and potato. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have begun to soften and brown slightly, about 8-12 minutes (this time will vary greatly depending on the surface area of the bottom of your pot). Add the vegetable stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Blend until smooth either using an immersion blender, or by carefully transferring to a blender in batches. Add the cream, and season to taste with salt (I start with 1 teaspoon and go from there, tasting frequently) and lemon juice. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a dollop of crème fraiche, and a healthy sprinkling of minced parsley.
