My sister Louise kept insisting that I try this recipe. I did after a while and regretted not having done so before.

Ingredients:

  • 2 kg mussels, washed and brushed
  • 4 chopped green onions
  • 2 chopped leeks (white part only)
  • 4 medium tomatoes cut in small cubes
  • 15 ml red curry paste
  • 30 ml chopped fresh coriander
  • 30 ml oil
  • 50 ml cream 35%
  • 125 chicken soup base or chicken stock
  • 4 chopped garlic cloves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method:

  • In a large casserole, sauté the green onions and leek in the hot oil
  • Add garlic, curry, tomatoes and mussels and mix well
  • Cover and let simmer 6 to 8 minutes or until the mussels are open
  • Discard unopened mussels, add cream and check seasoning
  • Serve immediately accompanied with bread for the sauce!

Leek and Potato Soup https://www.denismartel.ca/2010/04/leek-and-potato-soup/ https://www.denismartel.ca/2010/04/leek-and-potato-soup/#respond Sat, 10 Apr 2010 17:17:39 +0000 https://www.denismartel.ca/?p=7

My daughters always ask for a second serving when I make this soup.

When you serve the soup, you may want to add 5 ml of cream in each bowl for decoration.

Ingredients:

  • 4 chopped leeks (remove the green part)
  • 4 medium potatoes, cut into large pieces
  • 2 l chicken stock
  • Parsley, salt & pepper
  • 200 ml cream 35% (can be substituted with 15%)

Method:

  • Cook the leek and potatoes in the chicken stock until the potatoes are ready
  • Add seasoning to taste
  • Purée the soup in a food processor (you will probably need to puree in 2 or 3 portions)
  • Return the soup to the pot and add the cream
  • Adjust seasoning if necessary
