Potato And Buttermilk Soup Recipes

BUTTERMILK POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and add salt. (If using more than one variety, use a different saucepan for each to accommodate varying cooking times.) Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer; cook until fork-tender, 10 to 20 minutes.
• While potatoes cook, heat butter and oil in a medium skillet over high heat, and add onions. Reduce heat to medium, and saute until golden brown and slightly caramelized, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Drain potatoes, and let cool briefly. For a decorative touch, use a paring knife to remove a band of peel from the center section of each potato. Divide potatoes between four soup bowls and pour 3/4 cup buttermilk into each bowl. Top with caramelized onions, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with dill. Serve immediately.

POTATO AND BUTTERMILK SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the potatoes, onions, and chicken stock in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Bring to a strong simmer and cook for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return the soup to the pan. Add the buttermilk, dill, butter, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes over low heat or until heated through. Serve hot.

LOVAGE, POTATO & BUTTERMILK SOUP

Steps:

• Put the onion into a heavy-based saucepan.
• Add the stock and bring to boiling point very slowly so the onion begins to soften a little.
• Meanwhile coarsely chop a small handful (5 or so tablespoons) of lovage.
• Add the potato and herbs to the pan and pour on 1/2 pint buttermilk.
• Increase the heat very slightly and bring the mixture to a bare simmer.
• Stir vigorously all the while as the potato starch will thicken the soup, which may stick to the pan base.
• Half-cover the pan and reduce heat as low as possible once again.
• Cook very gently indeed, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are perfectly tender.
• Whizz the contents of the pan to a smooth puree.
• Season with salt and pepper and with extra lovage if you like.
• Whizz again and thin to taste with a little more stock or buttermilk.
• Reheat gently or chill thoroughly before serving, then garnish with a swirl of buttermilk and a small piece of chopped fresh lovage.

BUTTERMILK AND STEAMED-POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a steamer. Fill a large pot with 1 to 2 inches water; place steamer in pot. Bring water to a simmer, cover, and steam until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium. Add fennel; season with kosher salt. Cook,stirring occasionally, until fennel is starting to caramelize, 8 to 10 minutes. Add shallot; cookuntil golden brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes more.
• Divide potatoes evenly among 4 bowls. Pour buttermilk over potatoes. Top each bowl with fennel mixture, kale, and dill. Season with flaky salt and pepper; serve.

COLD POTATO-BARLEY BUTTERMILK SOUP

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and cut into approximately 4-inch dice. Cover with water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the potatoes are about half done, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and cook until both are tender but not overdone, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, but do not drain.
• Let the potato-green bean mixture stand, uncovered, until it is at room temperature, then add the remaining ingredients. Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate until chilled, if desired.
• Mid- to late summer is our brief chance to grab what we can of sun, sand, and-soup. Okay, so soup might not be something that springs immediately to mind when you think of summer pleasures, but I find few things more refreshing on a warm summer day than a bowl of cold soup.
• To round out a meal of cold soup, add a substantial salad, a good bread, and if you'd like, some fresh corn on the cob. These cool, flavorful elixirs whet the wilted appetite like nothing else can!

BUTTERMILK PARMESAN POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange potatoes over the bottom of the dish, and set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons butter until melted. Sprinkle the flour, salt, and pepper over the onion mixture. Cook and stir until mixture bubbles and thickens, about 2 minutes. Continue to stir the flour mixture while gradually pouring in the milk and buttermilk, and return the mixture to boiling. Stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese; cook for 2 minutes until melted, and mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture over the potatoes in the baking dish, stirring to coat evenly.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1/2 hour, and stir. Bake 1/2 hour longer, stir the potato mixture again, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes more.
