Roasted Potato Bisque With Leeks And Sage Food

SWEET POTATO BISQUE

Steps:

• Add the butter to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts and becomes foamy, add the garlic, onions and ginger and saute until tender and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chipotle pepper and saute for 1 minute longer while breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, apple cider and sweet potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Puree the soup using an immersion blender until smooth and velvety. Finish by stirring in the heavy cream. Top each bowl with sour cream if using.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH SAGE AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees and place a large, heavy skillet or roasting pan in the oven to heat up. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold salted water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer 5 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes well and place them on paper towels. Place the flour on a plate and when the potatoes are dry, roll them in the flour to coat, shaking off any excess. Remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the oil and potatoes. Roast, shaking the pan occasionally until the potatoes are golden brown all over, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the garlic, sage and butter. Return the pan to the oven for one minute. Season generously with salt and pepper and serve.

ROASTED POTATOES, CARROTS & LEEKS

Steps:

• Scrub and quarter potatoes; place in a large bowl. Add the carrots, butter, oil, salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer in two ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pans., Bake at 425° for 25 minutes. Add leeks and garlic; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until tender, stirring occasionally.

POTATO-LEEK BISQUE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or soup pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add leeks and garlic; saute about 5 minutes or until tender. Add chicken broth, frozen potatoes, and the tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender, filling the blender only half full for each batch. (Soup can be stored in refrigerator for up to two days at this point.)
• Return soup to pan. Stir in cream and heat through over low heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish servings with sour cream and chopped scallions.

POTATO LEEK BISQUE FROM EATING WELL

Steps:

• To prepare bisque: Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary and add a bit of water if needed to prevent sticking. Set aside 1/3 cup of the leeks in a small bowl.
• Add potatoes, milk and broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer (do not boil) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• To prepare croutons: Meanwhile, add olives, anchovies and black pepper to the reserved leeks; mix well. Divide evenly among the toasted baguette slices.
• When the potatoes are tender, remove from the heat. Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, lemon juice and white pepper. Divide among 8 soup bowls and float a crouton on top of each. Garnish with chives, if desired.

ROASTED POTATO BISQUE WITH LEEKS AND SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 °F. Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes. In a soup pot, sauté leeks in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 2-3 minutes. Add roasted potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes. Transfer soup solids to a food processor, adding about half the stock and process to make a smooth purée. Return the purée to the pot, stir well to incorporate it into the remaining stock, and add sage. Adjust the seasonings to taste. Warm over low heat for 5-10 minutes and serve immediately.
