CHERVIL LEEK SOUP



Chervil Leek Soup image

I found this recipe on a Belgian website while I was looking to emulate my (Belgian) boyfriend's father's chervil soup. This soup came out lighter in color than his, more of a creamy green as opposed to dark green, but it is simple and delicate. I have a sneaking suspicion that he doesn't use leeks in his, but I think the leeks add a fuller dimension that I found really satisfying. We eat soup every day of the week with dinner, so it always gets made in big batches and served all week long. Light soups like this are nice for spring. Add little soup meatballs if you like (I do). Also, I used 2 leeks instead of 3 by accident and used a little more water than called for, and it still tasted really nice. I guess the most important thing is not to cook this soup too long because the delicate flavors will deteriorate if overdone.

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
2 onions, chopped

2 -3 chicken bouillon cubes (2 if you use the recommended amount of water, more if you use more water) or 2 -3 vegetarian bouillon cubes (2 if you use the recommended amount of water, more if you use more water)
1 bouquet garni
2 1/2 liters water
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In your soup pot, saute onions and leeks over medium heat until soft. (Tip: salt the onions and leeks at this stage so they release their moisture faster.).

  • Remove bouquet garni and blend soup.
