INSTRUCTIONS
LEEK, PARSNIP AND GINGER SOUP is a flavorful winter warmer with the
added spiciness of fresh ginger. SERVES 4 to 6. *Original recipe used
1-1/4 cups white wine and 6 cups stock. Instead of ricotta, Prevention
97-Jun and Enola Prudhomme's Pretend or Faux Cream may be substituted:
process equal parts of cottage cheese and skim milk until smooth; thin
as needed. Heat the oil in a large (4-Quart) pan and add the leeks and
ginger. Cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes, until the leeks start to
soften. Add the parsnips and cook for 7 to 8 minutes until aromatic.
Pour in the wine and stock or water and bring to the boil. Reduce the
heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until the parsnips are tender.
Puree in a blender until smooth. Season to taste. Reheat and garnish
with a swirl of ricotta cheese and a light dusting of paprika. Serve
with a multi-grain/seed roll or two. TIPs: Thin ricotta with skim
milk until it is the consistency of double cream. Drizzle two or three
circles onto the soup. Use a knife to draw out peaks and paint a moire
pattern. Dust with paprika. SOURCEs 1-Vegetarian Entertaining (1997)
