Smooth sips of warm soup topped two ways – to satisfy both your meat-eating and vegetarian guests.
Makes: 35 1.5-oz shooters
Free of: gluten and all top allergens
Ingredients
- 2 medium leeks, white and green parts only
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dairy-free, soy-free buttery spread
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 4 cups allergy-friendly vegetable broth
Garnish
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 4 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 small white potato
- Canola oil for frying
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Halve leeks, rinse out visible dirt and pat dry with paper towel. Slice thinly on a diagonal.
- Heat olive oil and buttery spread in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Cook leeks until they begin to soften but not brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic, potatoes, salt, thyme and pepper. Cook another 5 minutes.
- Pour in broth, increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.
- Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. (Alternatively, mash ingredients with potato masher, then process just briefly in a food processor – too long makes potatoes gluey.)
- For garnish, heat canola oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add prosciutto strips and cook until crisp, 2-3 minutes. Remove to paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Cut potato into matchsticks by slicing into 1/8-inch-thick strips. Heat 2 inches of oil in a small pot over medium and fry potato sticks 4-5 minutes until crisp. Remove to paper-towel-lined plate to drain; sprinkle with salt.
- Fill shot glasses or espresso-sized glasses with soup and top half with crispy prosciutto and the other half with potato sticks. Sprinkle with green onion.
