[recipe*] Leek Soup ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

I shared this recipe in the vegan way I have

made it with success in the past, but I am

not a vegan.

Often I will use regular butter when making this,

and I like to serve it with a dollop of sour cream

in the bowl. It is such a delicious soup to serve now

that the weather is getting hot; just a salad and some

crisp crackers and you have a nice meal.

 

Leek Soup

 

6 Tbs. vegan margarine

5 medium leeks, minced [white part only]

1 medium-large onion, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

4 medium potatoes, cubed

3 Tbs. minced chives

Salt and pepper to taste

 

In a large saucepan, saute margarine, leeks,

and onion until tender. Add vegetable broth

and cubed potatoes. Cover and simmer for

15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Remove and reserve 3 cups of soup and

puree the rest until smooth. Return reserved

soup and puree to sauce pan. Stir in chives,

salt and pepper. Heat gently until mixture

comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Serve

at once.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Every part of this country is sacred to my people.

Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove

has been hallowed by some fond memory or

some sad experience of my tribe.

Even the rocks, which seem to lie dumb as they

swelter in the sun along the silent shore in

solemn grandeur thrill with memories of past

events connected with the fate of my people.
