    List of Ingredients




    Parsley Soup
    3 ounces of butter
    2 big bunches flat-leaf parsley, washed, stalks and leaves separated stalks chopped
    1 large potato, peeled and chopped
    1-1/2 pints light vegetable stock
    salt and pepper
    5 fluid ounces of double cream

    Melt the butter in a stainless-steel or enameled saucepan and gently sweat the parsley stalks, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Add the potato and the vegetable stock, salt and pepper and simmer, still uncovered, for a further 20 minutes. Coarsely chop the leaves of one bunch of parsley and add to the soup. Simmer for 2 minutes. Blanch the remaining leaves in fiercely boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and refresh immediately under cold running water, then gently squeeze dry in a tea towel. Liquidize the soup with the blanched parsley to make a vivid green puree. Pass through a fine sieve into a clean pan, add the cream, reheat and adjust the seasoning. Serve hot with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
