Leek soup
To tell the truth: Today we are suggesting merely a leek potato than a pure leek soup. But since it is our contribution for the St. Pat's Day blog event, we prefer not to lay to much emphasis on the potato part of it. After all in the 1840s Ireland had to cope with a terrible famine, because nearly the whole potatoe harvest had been destroyed by an oomecyte. Furthermore the recipe is not an Irish one, but still - it is green and tasty.Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 leeks
1 medium potato
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 tablespoon creme fraiche
750 ml vegetable stock
salt, pepper
Preparation:
Cut the leeks and the potato in small pieces. Heat the oil in a huge pan. Gently roast the leek, add the potato and soak with the vegetable stock. Cook for 15 minutes or till the vegetable is smooth, then blend. Before serving add the creme fraiche, some salt and pepper.
Good appetite!

Im ebenso berühmten wie mittlerweile längst abgehalfterten Wiener Café Hawelka (heute findet mensch da drin nur noch Touristen) soll es einst stets hausgemachte Buchteln gegeben haben. Josefine Hawelka, Tag für Tag Schöpferin des Germgebäcks, wurde dafür von so ziemlich allen österreichischen Nachkriegs-Wichtigen gepriesen. Da es in Innsbruck kein Stamm-Kaffeehaus mit Buchtelangebot gibt, müssen wir zur Selbsthilfe greifen und ab und zu den Backofen glühen lassen.
