Last week I decided to try a produce delivery system. The jury is still out whether or not I will continue getting it. I am going to get another week, at any rate.
The box came with a lot of things that I would reach for on a typical grocery shopping trip. It also had a few things that, while not foreign, certainly aren't on my regular rotation. Things like leeks.
Today I still had leeks and potatoes from the last box. That plus a quick trip to the store for ground sausage yielded this yummy pot of soup.
To start, I trimmed the dark green, woody stalks off of my leeks, and sliced them up. I washed the leek confetti very well, then boiled them down in beef broth until they were soft.
While the leeks were cooking, I crumbled and browned two pounds of mild Italian sausage,
When the leeks were cooked I puréed them with the broth and returned the slop soup to the stock pot, and added the browned sausage. I dumped it all in without draining it because there was no other fat in this soup.
At this point I took my portion of soup out of the pot.
I added heavy whipping cream to my soup as I was dishing it up.
But the peoples got the potatoes cubed up and cooked down in their soup. When the soup was ready and the table was set, I added milk to theirs. I would have taken a picture for you all, but the people gobbled it up too fast. Trust me, though, it was beautiful and delicious. And not all that complicated.
