4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
One 10-ounce package white mushrooms, chopped

2 shallots, thinly sliced

CREAMY LEEK SOUP



Creamy Leek Soup image

I usually pair leeks with potatoes to make a creamy puree, but this time I used basmati rice, and the results are comforting and delicious. You could add something creamy to this if you wanted to - yogurt or milk or creme fraiche. But I found it utterly satisfying with no further enrichment.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     soups and stews, appetizer, side dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
4 large leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned and sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
7 cups chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
1/2 cup basmati rice
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Pinch of cayenne (optional)
1/2 cup milk, plain yogurt or a combination of milk and creme fraiche
Chopped chives and/or croutons

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot and add the leeks and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until leeks are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for about a minute, until the garlic smells fragrant. Add the stock or water, the rice, bay leaf and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. Remove the bay leaf and discard.
  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender or a food mill, or in batches in a blender, taking care to remove the lid or take out the center insert and to cover with a towel to avoid hot splashes.
