Creamy and luscious potato-leek soup from The Blender Girl’s latest book The Perfect Blend
Craving some potatoes and leeks for St. Patrick’s Day? Check out this soup from Tess Masters’ third book, The Perfect Blend: 100 Blender Recipes to Energize and Revitalize. I have loved Tess’ other recipes, and this one is no different. Her book The Perfect Blend: 100 Blender Recipes to Energize and Revitalize
is now in stores.
Tess says:
“Roasted garlic and a touch of curry pull the classic potato-and-leek combo up to a new level. Resist the urge to overcommit to curry, because this soup sings when it’s subtle. (The turmeric boost will up color, flavor, and anti-inflammatory ammo.) Lemon juice brightens the blend, a dollop of vegan sour cream adds a beautiful tang and creaminess, and chives chime in with bite. Depending on the character of your potatoes, stir in more sour cream, and for a richer texture go with that drizzle of olive oil. For crunch, top with the crushed cashews.”
