Instructions
- Sautee leeks in oil until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add potatoes, broth, salt and pepper and boil until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- In batches, add soup to FourSide or WildSide+ jar and secure lid.
- Select "Sauces" setting or blend on Medium Low (speed 3 or 4) for 30 seconds. Repeat until all soup is blended, or leave 2-3 cups unblended to have some texture to the soup.
- Garnish with parsley.
do you peel the potatoes…it doesn’t say
No, you don’t peel them (unless you want to!).
I thought one shouldn’t pour hot liquid to the Blendtec. But the instructions didn’t mention to let the soup cool before step #3. Is it alright to add soup to blend right away?
Yes, you can pour this hot liquid in but, you’re right, we recommend not putting boiling water right into the jar. The highest temperature the jar should be exposed to is 176°F (46°C) – and things get hotter as they blend.
I would guess 8 based on the fact that the information says the recipe makes 8 servings and the serving size is a Cup. Just a guess though.
