I decided that the best way to do Valentine's Day alone was to go ahead and make myself a fancy meal and enjoy it at a table for one in my candle-lit dining room. The menu was shrimp cocktail, this soup served hot, hanger steak with a mushroom-merlot reduction and garlic-sauteed kale. This was, by far, the absolute star of the evening.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471025804681231300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-20343848992558765132017-02-14T15:06:55.115-05:002017-02-14T15:06:55.115-05:00Whenever I ask my Wife what she feels like for din...Whenever I ask my Wife what she feels like for dinner, she says Potato Leek soup.<br /><br />Great soup, Chef John. <br />Thank You.LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667817355110543268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-50414501023047648032016-12-17T16:15:45.564-05:002016-12-17T16:15:45.564-05:00Holy macaroni, I literally made this an hour ago a...Holy macaroni, I literally made this an hour ago and am planning to make it again... sooooo delicious. <br />Thanks for helping my leeks stay on fleek.

My potatoes ended up taking longer than I thought, and I was worried I had lost too much liquid so I put in a splash of water. Turns out I didn't need to because of the heavy cream, but it still turned out wonderful regardless. I'm going to try it cold tonight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-67230775024719203382016-12-05T01:55:19.069-05:002016-12-05T01:55:19.069-05:00I have always loved the cheerful nature and high-d...I have always loved the cheerful nature and high-definition visuals in all of your videos, Chef John. Maybe it's just me, but it's kind of saddening to hear you don't respond to comments anymore (which I thought was pretty awesome) and that your voice-overs don't sound as musical. I always thought your voice-overs were so uplifting and cheery that I never imagined anyone would say it was 'grating'; I hope you haven't been disheartened by those haters. Keep doing what you do, Chef John! The viewers who enjoy your recipe videos FAR outweigh those judging negative nothing-good-to-say-ers.

Really putting the comfort in comfortfood! <br /><br />However I once again encountered an odd problem while following one of your recipes that made use of an immersion blender. I blended for a few minutes and while it tourned soupy I couldn't get anything near the pillowy and smooth texture that seems to be in yours? The exact same thing happened when I did your butternut squash recipe a few weeks ago. While fantastically tasting I'd like to accomplish the same aesthetics as yours but something's going wrong. <br /><br />Could it be my blender? Perhaps the blade isn't good enough? Or should I incorporate more stock-water to the recipe? Or just keep blending? <br /><br />I hope you can give me a few tips!<br /><br />Kind regards<br />Mikkel Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660101809467028844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-75751971977553668302016-11-06T17:18:20.318-05:002016-11-06T17:18:20.318-05:00Could you float croutons on this too?Could you float croutons on this too?ALCO holichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798933284085166490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-38711398207219853932016-11-06T02:22:55.908-05:002016-11-06T02:22:55.908-05:00Sooooo delicious.

Regardless, do try this soup, it's wonderful either as Chef John has produced it, or with a leek stock! :)Orenwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488543081021464225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-89108005575764901292016-11-04T20:17:14.675-04:002016-11-04T20:17:14.675-04:00Did you say gorgeous? cause that is gorgeous!Did you say gorgeous? cause that is gorgeous!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17382419506676176562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-42451853504554949452016-11-04T20:07:14.924-04:002016-11-04T20:07:14.924-04:00I've always enjoyed your videos and your cooki...I've always enjoyed your videos and your cooking method.
