ROASTED POTATO LEEK SOUP (INA GARTEN BACK TO BASICS)
This recipe is for a great soup by the Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten in her new book Back to Basics. The secret is the crunchy shallots so make sure to try making them as well. See recipe #412840 as well for that- well worth it. Enjoy ChefDLH

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine the potatoes and leeks on a sheet pan in a single layer. Add the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Roast for 40-45 minutes, turning them with a spatula a few times during cooking, until very tender. Add the arugula and toss to combine. Roast for 4-5 more minutes, until the arugula is wilted. Remove the pan from the oven and place over two burners. Stir in the wine and 1 cup of the chicken stock and cook over low heat, scraping up any crispy roasted bits sticking to the pan.
- In batches, transfer the roasted vegetables to a food processor fitted with the steel blade, adding the pan liquid and about 5 cups of the chicken stock to make a puree. Pour the puree into a large pot or Dutch oven. Continue to puree the vegetables in batches until they're all done and combined in the large pot. Add enough of the remaining 1 to 2 cups of stock to make a thick soup. Add the cream, cream fraiche, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and check the seasonings.
- When ready to serve, reheat the soup gently and whisk in 2 tablespoons white wine and the Parmesan cheese. Serve hot with an extra grating of Parmesan cheese and Crispy Shallots, if using.

GOLDEN LEEK AND POTATO SOUP
Most potato leek soups are smooth, creamy and decidedly on the richer side. This one doubles the ratio of leeks to potatoes, giving you something sweeter, chunkier and homier, brimming with soft pieces of potato and browned slivers of leeks. A tablespoon or two of heavy cream, drizzled into the soup just before serving, is an optional luscious touch.

Steps:
- Halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse away any grit. Thinly slice the leeks crosswise. In a small square of cheesecloth, tie together bay leaves, thyme, sage, parsley and celery leaves if using.
- Melt the butter or heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Stir in stock or water, the sachet of herbs, the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce immediately to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and simmer soup until potatoes are very tender and falling apart, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, drizzle a small amount of cream into each bowl when serving, and top with parsley for garnish.

Steps:
- Heat the oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches 220° on a candy thermometer.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until they are a rich golden brown. The temperature should stay below 260 degrees. Stir the shallots occasionally to make sure they brown evenly.
- Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain well and spread out to cool on paper towels.
- Once they have dried and crisped, they can be stored at room temperature, covered, for several days.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this soup, as they break down easily and create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the soup intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a richer, more complex taste.
- Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Use a homemade stock if you have it, or choose a good quality store-bought stock.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup is done when the vegetables are tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooking the soup will make the vegetables mushy and the soup will lose its flavor.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as croutons, grated Parmesan cheese, or chopped fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Ina Garten's roasted potato leek soup is a classic for a reason. It's a simple, yet elegant soup that's perfect for a cold night. The roasted vegetables give the soup a rich, complex flavor, and the creamy texture is sure to warm you up from the inside out. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
