Potato Soup With Leeks And Bok Choy

West and East meet in this dish, and it turns out to be a good match. Substitute soy or rice milk for dairy milk if you wish.

Type: Vegetables
Courses: Soup
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

3   Medium-large potatoes - cubed
2   Vegetable bouillon cubes
2 cups 292g / 10ozChopped leeks
1 1/3 cups 194g / 6.8ozChopped bok choy
3/4 cup 82g / 2.9ozShredded carrots
1/8 teaspoon 0.6mlGround coriander
  Paprika - to taste
  Cayenne - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
  Salt - to taste
2 cups 474mlLow fat milk

Recipe Instructions

Boil potato cubes in 2 quarts of water with bouillon cubes until tender but not mushy, about 15 minutes. Reserve 1 to 2 cups of liquid.

Meanwhile, saute the leeks in a little water until lightly browned. Add bok choy and carrots and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Begin sprinkling seasonings a little at a time into the pan with leeks, bok choy and carrots.

Reserving 1 1/2 cups potato cubes for texture, puree potatoes with half the milk in a blender or with a hand mixer. Blend or mix only long enough to create a smooth texture without it becoming gluey.

Return potato puree to the soup pot and add sauteed vegetables and remaining potato cubes. Add remainder of milk until soup reaches the desired thickness. Add more milk as needed.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
