Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 garlic heads
8 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups chopped leeks
2 cups chopped onions
1/3 cup chopped celery
4 teaspoons ground coriander
3 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
8 cups (or more) vegetable stock or chicken stock
2 cups sliced shallots (about 10 large)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Rub garlic heads with 1 tablespoon oil. Place in small baking dish; cover with foil. Bake until garlic is tender, about 1 hour. Cut tops off garlic; squeeze out roasted garlic and reserve.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add leeks, onions and celery; sauté until tender but not brown, about 20 minutes. Add coriander; stir 2 minutes. Add potatoes; stir 2 minutes. Add roasted garlic and 8 cups stock; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly. Working in batches, puree soup in blender. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Chill, then cover.)
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté until deep golden, about 15 minutes.
  • Bring soup to simmer in heavy large pot. Thin with more stock, if desired. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Top with caramelized shallots.

Overall, this was a good soup. The shallots added a nice touch, but I found the soup to be a bit too thick. I might try adding more broth or milk next time to thin it out a bit.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt, pepper, and garlic, and it improved the flavor significantly. Next time, I'll try adding some sautéed mushrooms or bacon to give it a more robust flavor.
