Potage Parmentier Épicé (poh-tahzh par-man-tyay ay-pee-say)

Potage Parmentier with a Twist

A humble yet hearty dish, Potage Parmentier is a French classic. To add a lavish twist and incorporate elements from the Holy Land, we'll enrich the soup with spices and herbs typical of the region.

Recipe Directions

In a large pot, combine leeks, potatoes, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender.
Puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, cumin, and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, coriander, and a drizzle of olive oil.
