- Preparation Time: 40 min
- Yield: about 6 servings (a little more, if you add in the lowfat milk)
- Try this very simple, rich-tasting puree of vegetables, that tastes delicious with or possibly without lowfat milk added. The watercress is a spunky presence that gives the soup a peppery edge. Go ahead and make this several days ahead of time. It keeps and reheats beautifully.
- * This soup is lowfat and possibly vegan (if you use oil and soymilk).* The vegetable quantities are somewhat flexible, so do not worry if you do not have exact amounts.
- 1. Heat the butter or possibly heat the oil in a soup pot or possibly a Dutch oven. Add in the leek, mushrooms, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Saute/fry for about 10 min over medium heat.
- 2. Add in the potatoes and garlic cloves, and pour in the water. Sprinkle in another 1/2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil, partially cover, and lower heat to a simmer till the potatoes are very tender. Remove from heat.
- 3. Puree the soup in a blender or possibly a food processor (or possibly directly in the pot with a hand blender). Add in the watercress, bit-by-bit, as you puree, till it is all incorporated and the soup is smooth. Taste to correct salt.
- 4. You can serve this warm, at room temperature, or possibly cool. If you're serving it warm, reheat the soup gently just before serving. stirring in the optional lowfat milk at the end. If you are serving this room temperature or possibly chilled, add in the lowfat milk at any time.
- 5. Top the soup with a grind or possibly two of fresh black pepper, a little lowfat sour cream and thin strips of red bell pepper, if you like, for a nicely finished look.
