Potatoes this week .... I have been waiting for this ... a good excuse to make one of my signature dishes, that a lot of friends and family requests... Potato Soup... this is not your ordinary every day Potato Soup... it is a more On Special Occasions Potato Soup ... also it is not cheap to make ... so also has to be around the first of the month ...hihi
Potato Soup Ingredients
shallot onions
1 whole garlic
leeks only the white part
potatoes

...a few more pics
overview
lets get a bit closer
never forget the essential proof pic....
To add a bit of crunch I made toaste ryebread with typical danish toppings ... the toasted ryebread gets very crispy
I toasted it in the oven
this I did while the soup was boiling...
Prepare your toppings
toasts
load them up... the cream on top of each is a mic of mayonaise and sourcream... seasoned to taste
Toast 1
tomatoes and red onions
Toast 2
potatoes and chives
Toast 3
Eggs and black olives
If you don't like the toppings the bread also goes well without toppings and will provide a good contrast to the soup ...
So this was my dish with a little danish special added on
We all enjoyed it ... since my dad and my daughter do not believe in moving out of their comfort zones ... there were only Scallops and salmon roe for me hihi .... they have no clue on what they are missing out on ... a real delight of a dish ... the jerusalem artichokes really elevate the potato soup to another level in the taste department ...

STOPYou picked ingredients that work so well together! I understand why this is your signature dish.
Lucky you to have the scallops and salmon roe to yourself! 😜👍🏼
Thank you so much ! Yes... I don't make a huge effort to convince them to taste those two ingredients ... I kind of enjoy having them to myself ...well at lest around my daughter and my dad my friends and other family do love to dig in to the whole dish ... and you are right these elements just work beautifully together
Looks very tasty indeed @globaldoodlegems
Thank you so much I am glad to hear that you like it !
Wowzers! What a decadent and fancy meal! Scallops are one of the most delicious foods I've ever had - and you've got nice big ones there! Wonderful assortment of flavors and textures and an incredible presentation as well. What time is dinner on the first of next month? :)
hihi...you are very Welcome to stop by maybe we could cook up a storm together, your dishes always inspire me ! it is more like a once in a year thing, or if I invite friends over and they all contribute a bit to the shopping expenses ... it was a real treat yesterday ... and the combination of the textures and flavors is just a real party in the mouth ... I guess it is one of my own favorites too ... I can't really grasp that anyone can say that they don't like Scallops lol ( unless of course they are vegan and don't eat anything that was alive at some point, I respect that a lot, and I always make a great effort to cook accordingly to my guests liking ...
My boyfriend made me some potato soup when I had a wisdom tooth removed...if it looked anything like yours, I would have devoured the entire bowl! Great presentation :-)
Thank you so much, I am glad to hear that, the Jerusalem artichokes changes up the taste to more velvety and nutty than your regular potatosoup
Hmmm we really need to make this one during the beginning of the month my friend...so many expensive products in it! Wow!
I still feel you were lucky to be getting to eat all of the scallops and salmon roe!
Great entry as usual!
The little toasts look very nice!
Thank you so much, yes, indeed I was lucky to get all the goodies ... my daughter and my dad did enjoy the soup though ... I think that next time I make it I will accompany it with the blinis that I made of the leftovers ... they can be done with the soup as well ... I think they would fit very well with it ...
