LEEK, POTATO AND KIELBASA SOUP image

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, lightly crushed (put in mini blender)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups sliced leeks, white part only, rinsed and drained (used white onion diced, cup)
5 cups chicken stock
2 medium boiling potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 pound kielbasa, diced
1/4 cup heavy cream (added more to taste)
1/2 cup thinly sliced arugula (added more)
1/4 cup finely diced red bell (used green pepper and sauteed) pepper, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • In a small skillet toast the fennel seed over moderate heat until very fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. In a large saucepan melt the butter and cook the leek until very soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in stock and potatoes and bring to boil. Simmer the soup until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the toasted fennel, kielbasa, cream and salt and pepper, to taste. Before serving stir in the arugula. Garnish with red bell pepper.
