Directions
Potage Parmentier (Potato & Leek Soup) Julia Child, Posted here for safekeeping This is the basic recipe with variations, so you can create your own favorite version I usually make this non-dairy using vegetable stock, which I actually prefer over the dairy version given here I usually cook my soup for less time than this recipe indicates and it comes out fine , Puree in blender? Don’t, and don’t be misled into thinking that Julia Child did anything but discourage such a thing This misstep reveals no understanding of the science of cooking , This was outstanding! used broth as was suggested in the reviews and had 1/4c of chopped roasted red peppers left over from another recipe so I dumped them in The butter is a must! This is a wonderful and easy basic recipe Thanks for posting I may just have to buy her book!
