    Potato Leek Soup with Garlic (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 04/13/2016 - Fresh leek soup is a rich, creamy, velvety wonder to behold, and a delight to the taste buds. This recipe adds a dash of garlic to deliver a symphony of rich flavorful soup.

    • 2 whole leeks
    • 2 whole garlic bulbs
    • 1 quart chicken stock
    • 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes
    • 1 cup cream, plus more to garnish
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • Olive oil
    • Salt

    Directions:
    Heat oven to 400°F.

    Slice away the top of the bulbs of garlic so that the cloves inside are exposed.

    Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil and place in the oven for 30 minutes.

    Remove, allow to cool and, with a firm hold of the base of the bulb, squeeze the soft, caramelized garlic into a small bowl.

    Remove the tops, or the darkest green leaves from the leeks. Slice the stalks in half and rinse well. Chop fine.

    Peel and roughly chop potatoes into small cubes.

    Heat butter and a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot.

    Add chopped leeks and stir until softened, around 10 minutes.

    Add 4 cups of stock, the cubed potatoes, the soft garlic and a teaspoon of salt.

    Combine, bring to the boil then reduce heat to medium.

    Cover and allow to simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables have softened significantly.

    Carefully, in very small batches, pour soup into a blender and process until smooth.

    Return to the pot on low heat and add cream.

    Serve in bowls with a bit of cream, and a sprinkle of fresh black pepper.

    Practically no one doesn't like chicken soup. Nearly every culture on the planet features some kind of chicken soup as part of its cuisine. Chicken soup is delicious, nutritious staple. It is mildly isotonic,  and a good source of electrolytes, making it great for getting over colds. It features a nice balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. So, chicken soup is healthy, chicken soup is delicious, chicken soup is a winner!
    Some of the best chicken soup I've had has also been some of the simplest to prepare. This recipe uses a whole chicken and makes a whole bunch of soup, about eight to twelve servings, depending on how hungry you are. For those tempted to cut the recipe in half, I point out that the soup freezes well, and that if you've got a big enough pot, and you're going to ...

    For the purposes of this recipe, it is important to remember that the avocado and the tomato are both fruits. A curious fact to some, simple knowledge for many. Hot summer days mean a steady of flow of delicious tomatoes and luscious avocados. Finding new ways to use both can make for a delightful culinary adventure. One way that's old hat to many gourmets, but new to me, is to turn them into a delicious, refreshing chilled soup. The result is nothing short of an homage to the marriage of two of summer's most storied fruits.
    Ingredients:
    3 large Hass avocados - peeled and pitted
    2 ripe heirloom tomatoes, peeled
    1 small sweet onion, quartered
    1 green bell pepper, de-seeded
    ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
    4 cups tomato juice
    1½ cups plain yogurt
    ⅓ cup chopped fresh chi...

    The time is here for sweaters, scarves, and soups that taste like they've taken all day to make. This earthy spin on pumpkin soup is a real treat. Keep and toast the pumpkin seeds for garnish or snack. In a pinch, canned pumpkin also works well but with the season upon us, there are too many uses for fresh pumpkin to pass them up. I like to roast up a separate one to use for serving. Just remove the top, cutting wide enough to fit a ladle and hollow out the seeds.
    Ingredients:
    2 medium-sized pumpkins
    2 cups chicken broth
    1 cup water
    1 cup milk
    2 tablespoons honey
    2 fresh bay leaves
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper
    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350° F.
    Cut pumpkins in half and scoop out the seeds. Place skin-side down on a baking d...
