Just wanted to let you know I only had 30 mins total to throw this together, and used a leek instead of green garlic, but it still turned out delicious! Basically I only sweated the leeks for 5 mins before adding the stock, threw in the potatoes at the same time, and used an immersion blender in the pot as soon as they were soft. I recommend this shortcut if you are short on time, will definitely be making this again!Clarararhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841092967627969240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-60400042689971897832011-05-25T14:37:04.152-04:002011-05-25T14:37:04.152-04:00Stock broth same deal.

Anything that broth brings to the party that stock won't?<br /><br />I know your immersion blender was broken but how about using a food processor? Or would that tend to puree things too much and perhaps form gluten, making the soup gluey?<br /><br />I'm also thinking that for a minor variant, slightly caramelizing the veggies might add a sweeter note, as you suggest. Any reasons you can think of not to (other than it changes the character of the soup from the original recipe)?<br /><br />BTW, loved your on-camera cameo appearance in the reflection in the spoon during the herb sprinkling.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-78356626855876084602011-05-23T13:44:37.625-04:002011-05-23T13:44:37.625-04:00Of course!

I appreciate how you let the basic ingredients do the talking, instead of getting unnecessarily complicated.<br /><br />So you minored in "herb distribution," huh?

I finally found Organic Valley's regular pasteurized didn't have carrageenan (but beware that their ULTRA pasteurized cream does have carrageenan). I had to special request it through my nearest health food store (I used Organic Valley's zip finder to see which local vendors carried their product). I'll probably bulk order and freeze it - yes I know frozen cream won't "whip", but at least I can enjoy cream soups and sauces again, YAY!<br /><br />It seems carrageenan doesn't bother most people, but I'm finding more and more posts here and there about it. Now you know one source should any of your readers have digestive problems after using heavy cream.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827052626667535975noreply@blogger.com
