CREAM OF SHALLOT SOUP



Cream of Shallot Soup image

From thekitchen.com which explains: 'Not only is this soup delicious, but, like most of our favorite soups, it's also ridiculously easy to prepare. The key is being careful with the few steps required. Make sure only to soften the shallots in the butter. You don't want to brown them at all. Browning would completely alter the taste of the soup. And when you add the cream and egg, be very careful to control the heat and prevent the soup from boiling. You want to warm the mixture through and thicken it slightly, not accidentally create a custard base. Your reward for these minor efforts will be more than worth the trouble.' CG says: you will save a significant amount of money if you buy shallots in bulk rather in those overpriced net bags.

DELICIOUS THICK CREAMY POTATO SOUP



Delicious Thick Creamy Potato Soup image

One of the best potato soups, I think the sour cream makes the difference, I like to add in the cayenne pepper for just a bit of heat, and I most always double the complete recipe and use 4 russet potatoes and 4 red potatoes. If desired you can add in some cooked cubed potatoes just before serving and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese, I most always do! you will love this!
