potatoes | Chef Doru's Blog

I don’t know if it’s because of the winter or is just me, but I decided to go for another soup. This time I choose a soup from one of the blogs I follow and admire, Sara Makes Soup. I change few things in the recipe since all my family is on some sort of diet. My ingredients are as follows:

2 tbsp bacon bits
1/2 red onion, diced
3 green onions, diced
1 giant round garlic clove, minced
4 stalks celery, diced
1 parsley root
3 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
1/3 cup dry white wine
1.5 L Chicken Stock
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into 1″ cubes
1 sweet potato, chopped into 1″ cubes
1 sprig of thyme, washed
1 cup of 2% milk
meat from 2 cooked chicken breasts, cut into cubs
salt and pepper to taste
some parsley, chopped.

For quite for some time now, my adorable wife was trying to persuade me to cook some chicken breast with Philadelphia cooking cream. Few day ago, I chose a simple recipe from Kraft website using Savory Garlic cooking cream and the results were quite unexpectedly good. You should try it since is very easy to make and not so expensive.
