This is a classic British recipe for a soup of red orach leaves in a potato and chicken stock base.
Ingredients:
500g (1 lb) potatoes, peeled and cut into thick slices
225g (1/2 lb) young
red orach leaves, washed and coarsely chopped
50g butter
900ml chicken stock
1 garlic clove, crushed
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
4 tbsp sour cream
Method:
Bring a pan of salted water to a boil, add the potato pieces and cook for 10 minutes. Turn into a colander and set aside to drain.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the crushed garlic and fry gently for 2 minutes then add the red orach leaves. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the leaves are soft and have wilted.
Pour in the stock, add the potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes then take off the heat. Allow to cool slightly then purée in a blender until smooth. Return to the pan and allow to heat through. Adjust the seasonings to taste, then stir in the sour cream.
