POTAGE PARMENTIER – French Potato Leek Soup with Sauvignon Blanc & Fresh Herb Pistou (a nod to Julia Childs)

$ 7.50$ 13.50

This is the perfect winter soup ~ thanks to Julia. We’ve added a couple ingredients we hope she’d approve of. They just make it a little more wicked good. This traditional soup is warm and comforting, rich and creamy. Made with savory organic chicken broth simmered with organic yukons and russets, locally sourced organic leeks, sweet onions, organic garlic and shallots, sauvignon blanc, fresh organic thyme, Herbs de Provence and cracked black pepper.  Blended and finished with cream and a swirl of organic herb pistou (organic chives, organic parsley, organic thyme, organic Italian parsley, organic garlic, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, organic lemons). Fabulous for breakfast! and of course, delicious again for lunch or dinner served with a nice green salad and artisan bread.

STRETCHING YOUR SOUP DOLLARS

  • You may end up with some leftover Potage Parmentier.  We’ve had enough left over to fill sour dough bread rolls. These were smaller than the large ones you often see in restaurants, so we accompanied the bread bowls with toppings like crisp bacon, chives, fried shallots, shredded sharp white cheddar, sautéed garlic greens and sautéed mushrooms. It was amazing! You could do all these toppings OR just one or two to make it a new and exciting meal.
  • We have also made sheet pan roasted vegetables with this creamy soup over the top. Really delicious and a little soup goes a long way on the roasted vegetables. Again, you could add the same suggested toppings above to this dish.
