Makes 8 servings |
Ingredients:
1 leek
2 tablespoons Organic Valley Cultured Unsalted Butter
2 pounds carrots
1 sweet potato
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, grated
1/2 teaspoon curry powder or nutmeg
5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 cup cooked rice (white, jasmine or brown, if preferred)
Salt and white pepper
1 cup Organic Valley Original Soy Milk (or Heavy Whipping
Cream) |
Directions:
Cook the rice first. In a small saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups
water to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of dry, white rice. Cover and
simmer for 15 minutes or until grains are tender, and water is
mostly gone (longer for brown rice).
Trim off the tough green end of the leek, then slice leek
lengthwise and rinse out. Slice leek halves into 1/4-inch
slices. Trim carrots, wash and slice diagonally. Peel sweet
potato and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Melt butter (can also substitute oil) in the soup pot and
sauté the leek until translucent, but not brown. Add carrots
and sweet potatoes and toss for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add
the garlic, ginger, stock and rice. Bring to a boil, then
lower to a simmer. Cover and cook gently for 20 minutes or
until the carrots are soft.
Puree the soup in a food processor or with a hand-held whisk.
Add salt and pepper to taste. When serving, put one tablespoon
of soy or heavy cream in the middle of the bowl, and give it a
gentle swirl.
