Savory Potato Broth Food

SAVORY SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Thinly slice 6 Yukon potatoes (we used a mandoline for an even consistent cut).
• In a saucepan, melt butter on medium heat. Add in flour and whisk until smooth. Add bay leaf and begin to add the Almond Breeze while constantly stirring with a whisk. Add garlic, nutmeg, and thyme. Mix in Parmesan cheese and vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a simmer to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaf and remove almond milk mixture from heat.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease your casserole dish with a nonstick spray.
• Lay half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the casserole dish. Pour half of the Almond Breeze mixture over the the potatoes. Repeat the process until you have a second layer. Spread the Cheddar on top and place casserole dish into the oven. Bake for 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and fully cooked.

SAVORY POTATO BROTH

Steps:

• Pour the oil into the pot, and set over medium-high heat. Let the oil get quite hot, but not smoking.
• Dump in the potatoes, sprinkle on 1 teaspoon of the salt, and toss them in the oil until well coated. Cook them for 6 minutes or more, until lightly crusted and caramelized without taking on any color. Lower the heat to prevent burning and alternately stir the potatoes.
• When the potatoes are leaving a crust on the pan bottom (about 3 to 5 minutes), toss in the celery and carrots. Stir up everything well, scraping up any potato crust, raise the heat a bit, and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, until all the vegetables are hot and steaming. Push them aside to clear the pan bottom in the center, and drop in the tomato paste. Toast it in the hot spot for a minute or two, stirring, then work the paste into the vegetables.
• Pour the gallon of hot water into the pan, drop in the bay leaves and pieces of cheese rind, grind in 1/4 teaspoon or more of black pepper, add the remaining teaspoon of salt, and stir well. Cover the pot and bring the broth to a boil, adjusting the heat to keep a steady but not violent bubbling, and let cook for an hour, covered. Stir occasionally.
• Uncover the pot and cook the broth for another hour or so, still at a low bubbling boil, until it has reduced to 4 quarts. (If you're in a hurry, raise the heat and concentrate the broth quickly; stir now and then to prevent burning.)
• Remove the bay leaves but leave the cheese rind, whole or chopped up, for those who like it.
• You can use the broth right away, or any part of it, for the finished soups that follow. Or let it cool and pack it in measured containers. Keep it refrigerated for 3 or 4 days, or frozen, in filled and tightly sealed containers, for 4 to 6 months.

• Reduce the heat. Add the red pepper flakes and fennel seed and cover, allowing the soup to simmer for about 20 minutes or until the lentils and sweet potatoes begin to fall apart.
• Remove the lid and add the spices. If you would like to get a thicker consistency, kick the heat back up and reduce until it hits the desired thickness. You may want to adjust the amounts of salt and pepper, depending on your own tastes.
• Serve the soup either on its own or over a starch with a dollop of raita (thick yogurt mixed with vegetables) or sour cream. Garnish with whatever you like (Featured in the photo is yogurt, carrot, and a dash of paprika.).
