CREAM OF WATERCRESS SOUP
This Cream of Watercress Soup is a great winter soup for a cold day. Better yet, it's really fast to put together. It can be on the table in 30 minutes. Watercress has a wonderful, peppery taste and is full of vitamins A, C, and K. Adding the finely diced stalks gives the soup extra flavor. The butter or cannellini beans give it a higher protein content than the usual potatoes, and a creamy texture and taste without dairy. If cooking the beans, add the liquid they were cooked in, and cut back on the stock proportionately. If not vegetarian, try making this soup with chicken stock.

Steps:
- Finely dice the thick stalks of the watercress. Set aside. Break up the leafy greens into leaflets, discarding any remaining thick main stems. Set aside and reserve some for garnish.
- Heat the oil in a heavy soup pot over medium-high heat. When it starts to ripple, add the onions, diced watercress stalks and thyme. Fry until the onion starts to soften. Turn the heat down to medium, sprinkle with a little sea salt and cover. Sweat the vegetables for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Don't let them burn or color!
- Add the beans and their liquid and stir to mix well with the vegetables. Add the stock if using canned beans. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and cook until the beans are heated through and can be easily smashed against the side of the pan with a spoon, about 10 minutes.
- Add the watercress leaflets to the soup and cook for 5 minutes, until they wilt. Blend the soup until smooth in a blender or with an immersion blender. Bring back to a simmer, add all the watercress leaves and 2 tablespoons of the chopped parsley, and cook a minute more and taste for seasoning. Serve immediately, sprinkling each bowl with the remaining parsley, watercress leaves and a grind of black pepper.

Steps:
- To make the soup base: Melt the butter in a 6-quart stockpot over medium heat. Stir in the leeks, onion and salt. Cover and cook over low heat until the vegetables are soft but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and cream. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil, then simmer on low, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Purée the soup in a blender or food processor or with a hand-held immersion blender until emulsified and smooth. Return the mixture to the stockpot and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle boil. Using a slotted spoon, skim off any impurities that rise to the surface. Set aside or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- To finish the soup: Fill a large bowl with ice water and set aside. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil. Add the coarse sea salt and watercress. Blanch until wilted and soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately drain the watercress, then plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again; do not squeeze out all the water. Purée the watercress in a food processor, then place it in a fine-meshed sieve and press out any remaining liquid. Discard the liquid. Set the purée aside.
- When ready to serve, reheat the soup base over low heat. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, whip the cream to stiff peaks. Stir in the lemon juice and season to taste with sea salt and white pepper. Just before serving, add the watercress purée to the warmed soup and stir until blended. Ladle the soup into shallow soup bowls. Place a scoop of whipped cream in the center of each bowl and top with a small spoonful of caviar.

COLD CREAM OF WATERCRESS SOUP
Steps:
- Heat a large saucepan with olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the leeks and the watercress stems only and saute until wilted, about 10 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock and potatoes and season well with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare an ice water bath by partially filling your largest mixing bowl with ice cubes and water.
- In batches to avoid overfilling and splattering, ladle the soup into a blender or food processor, adding some of the creme fraiche and watercress leaves with each batch and reserving about 2 dozen whole leaves for a garnish. Puree each batch and transfer to a fine-meshed strainer held over a large mixing bowl that fits inside the ice water bath, using a rubber spatula to press the puree through the strainer. Taste the puree, adjust the seasonings, if necessary, with more salt and pepper, and stir in the lemon juice.
- Place the bowl of soup inside the ice water bath and chill it until cool, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Remove the bowl of soup from the ice water bath, dry its underside, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Before serving, taste the soup. If it is too thick, thin it with a little cold milk, chicken stock, or water, to a thick, creamy consistency. Adjust the seasonings, if necessary. Ladle into chilled bowls and decoratively garnish each serving with a few of the reserved watercress leaves.
