SOUPE DE BONNE FEMME OR OLD WIVES SOUP

Yesterday we had a very hearty soup called Soupe de Bonne Femme which translates as Old Wives Soup. I dished it up to Malcolm, Megan and myself and we were totally stuffed! Very easy to make and tasted great. It needs very little ingredients and inexpensive to make.

Steps:

  • 1.
  • Cut off larger green endings of leeks and dispose. Wash tender white part of leeks well and cut into small circles.
  • 2.
  • Cook leeks for 1 minute with 1 Tablespoon of salted butter.
  • 3.
  • Add 1 Tablespoon of water and cook for 5 minutes more on low heat.
  • 4.
  • Peel potatoes and also cut them into circles.
  • 5.
  • Add them to leeks with 6 cups of water, salt and pepper to taste. Let soup boil very slowly for 45 minutes.
  • 6.
  • Butter the toast (with salted butter!) and put one piece in the bottom of each soup bowl.
  • 7.
  • Pour the soup directly on top of the toast and serve immediately.
  • Make sure you use French bread with plenty of salted butter as this is whats gives such a fantastic flavour. You can also add some bacon just before the leeks are added and you can also add some green salad if serving as a main meal.
