Makes about 10 cups
1. Put the butter in a medium pot set over low heat.
2. While butter is heating, prepar e the vegetables. Insert
the chopping blade into the work bowl of the food
processor . Add the garlic, ginger and leek and pulse
until fi nely chopped, about 8 to 10 times. Put into the
pot with a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Sauté
until softened, about 8 minutes (you want the heat to
be low so the vegetables do not pick up any color).
3. While the vegetables are cooking, pr epare the
potatoes. Remove the chopping blade and insert the
slicing disc. Slice the potatoes. Add to the softened
vegetables in the pot and stir to fully coat. Add the
cinnamon, cayenne and broth and raise heat to bring
mixture to a boil. Once boiling, r educe heat to
maintain a simmer. Allow to simmer until potatoes ar e
tender, about 15 minutes.
4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the soup solids to the
food processor and transfer liquid to a measuring cup
(this will make it easier to add to the food processer
while puréeing). Pr ocess to purée and while pr ocess-
ing, slowly add the hot cooking liquid through the feed
tube. Add ½ cup of the cream until smooth (this will
take about 2 minutes to reach a nice consistency). If a
thinner soup is desired, add the r emaining cup.
5. Serve immediately.
