Roasted Potato Leek Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400º F. Place all veggies on a large baking tray.
• Drizzle olive oil over all. Sprinkle spices over all. Toss the veggies to thoroughly coat with oil and seasonings.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until veggies are fork tender - this can be done early in the day.
• Place the roasted veggies in a large stock pot. I pop the garlic cloves out of their papery skins at this point. Cover with veggie broth. Using an immersion blender puree the vegetables. Add broth until your soup is the desired consistency. Heat through and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the potatoes and leeks on a sheet pan in a single layer. Add the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Roast for 40-45 minutes, turning them with a spatula a few times during cooking, until very tender. Add the arugula and toss to combine. Roast for 4-5 more minutes, until the arugula is wilted. Remove the pan from the oven and place over two burners. Stir in the wine and 1 cup of the chicken stock and cook over low heat, scraping up any crispy roasted bits sticking to the pan.
• In batches, transfer the roasted vegetables to a food processor fitted with the steel blade, adding the pan liquid and about 5 cups of the chicken stock to make a puree. Pour the puree into a large pot or Dutch oven. Continue to puree the vegetables in batches until they're all done and combined in the large pot. Add enough of the remaining 1 to 2 cups of stock to make a thick soup. Add the cream, cream fraiche, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and check the seasonings.
• When ready to serve, reheat the soup gently and whisk in 2 tablespoons white wine and the Parmesan cheese. Serve hot with an extra grating of Parmesan cheese and Crispy Shallots, if using.
