Chinese Five Lilies Chowder

 

3 tb Olive oil

4 c Diced yellow onions

¼ c Sliced shallots

1 tb Chopped garlic

1 c Dry white wine

1 Bay leaf

6 c Mushroom stock or Vegetable Broth

Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper

2 ts Minced fresh thyme or

1 ts Dried

2 ts Minced fresh oregano or

1 ts Dried oregano

½ c Minced celery

1 c Leeks; both white & tender Green parts

2 tb Dry sherry

2 tb Minced chives

 

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, shallots and garlic

and saute until they just begin to color. Transfer half of the onion mixture to

a blender or food processor. Puree and return to the pan. Add the wine, bay leaf

and stock and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (The soup base

may be prepared in advance to this point and stored refrigerated for up to 3

days or frozen for several months and reheated before finishing.) Just before

serving, add the thyme, oregano, celery, leeks and sherry to the hot soup base.

Bring to a simmer and simmer for 2 minutes. Do not overcook, the vegetables

should retain their crunchy texture. Remove the bay leaf, stir in the chives and

serve.

Note - I sprinkled chopped cilantro over the top.

And the sign said " Long-haired freaky people need not apply "

So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why

He said " You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do "

So I took off my hat, I said " Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you! "
