Crouton Ingredients

Method

Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Leeks

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic. Sauté until the leeks are softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the Soup

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches.

  4. 4

    Finish the Soup

    Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through before serving.

Salsa Verde Directions

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine chopped parsley, cilantro, capers, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.

  2. 6

    Season

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.

Crouton Directions

  1. 7

    Prepare the Croutons

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, toss the sourdough cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt.

  2. 8

    Bake the Croutons

    Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
