Get the recipe for Garnish-as-You-Like Potato-Leek Soup here: bit.ly/3BSmyPo
PARTY SOUP! This concept came from our creative director of recipes Matt Card, who told us all about a dinner party, organized around a cauldron of soup. It’s a simple potato-leek base, served along with an array of seasonings and mix-ins: balsamic vinegar, fried shallots, chopped hazelnuts, chili crisp, pesto, pickled peppers. The soup itself is rich with butter and a whole head of garlic, simmered and blended into a silky purée.
Everybody goes back for seconds and thirds and gets a different soup, every time.
Our education director Rosie Gill and the rest of us here at Milk Street thought it was a fabulous idea, and indeed, it was.
