Lovage Soup
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the oil and butter on medium heat in a heavy pot or dutch oven til hot enough to sizzle when the onions are added.
- Dice the onion and the green onions (both the green and white parts) and add to the oil when it is hot.; saute about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the broth to the pot and turn the heat to high.
- Dice the potatoes (no need to peel) and add to the broth as it is heating.
- When the broth is just about to boil, turn the heat down very low and cover the pot; let it simmer for about a half hour til the potatoes are soft.
- Remove the lovage leaves from the stems to make 1 or 1.5 oz (it's a LOT of leaves!), and add to the pot once the potatoes are soft. Simmer again (still on low heat) with the lid on for another 6 minutes or so.
- Remove from the heat and blend thoroughly with an immersion blender.
- Serve in bowls or cups with salt and pepper to taste, a dollop of cream (or half and half if you prefer to keep the calories a little lower), and a lot of snips of chives.
