Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ cup butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 quart chicken broth
12 ounces chopped watercress
2 cups half-and-half cream

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook stirring constantly for a few minutes. Remove from heat, and gradually whisk in the chicken broth so that no lumps form.
  • Return to medium heat, and bring to a simmer. Add watercress, cover, and cook over low heat for 20 minutes. Puree in small batches using a blender, or blend in the pan using an immersion blender. Return to the saucepan, and stir in the half-and-half cream. Heat until warm, but do not boil.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used cauliflower instead of potatoes in this recipe. It was still delicious!

This soup is way too spicy for me. I think I'll omit the chili flakes next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much watercress.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too watery. I think I'll reduce the amount of water next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

I served this soup with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal. The bread helped to soak up all of the delicious broth.

This watercress soup is incredibly delicious and flavorful. The combination of watercress, potatoes, and leeks creates a rich and creamy broth that is both comforting and satisfying.
