I quite like thick creamy soups. Many (most) of the ones I make feature seafood. But, I have some that are veggie based.

Title: Potato-Parsley Bisque
Categories: Soups, Potatoes, Herbs, Nuts, Citrus
Yield: 6 Servings
1 c Raw almonds or cashews
5 c Stock or bouillon
1 lb Red-skin potatoes; unpeeled,
- in 1/2" cubes
2 md Leeks; sliced, thoroughly
- washed
1 c Fine chopped fresh parsley
1 ts Fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 ts Fine sea salt
1/4 ts Fresh ground black pepper
Blanch the almonds in boiling water for 30 seconds.
Drain, and plunge almonds into cold water. Drain, and
squeeze the almonds between your fingertips to remove
the skins. Compost or discard the skins.
Put the blanched almonds and 1 cup of the vegetable
stock in a blender, and blend until smooth, about 1
minute.
In a large pot, combine the potatoes, leeks, and the
remaining 4 cups stock and bring to a simmer over
medium heat. Cover and boil until the potatoes are
tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir the blanched almond mixture, parsley, lemon juice,
salt, and pepper into the soup. Bring to a simmer and
cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the soup to a food processor and process, in
batches if necessary, until smooth. *
Serve immediately.

* UDD Tip: This is a good place for an immersion blender
which will avoid transfer messes, burnt fingers, etc.
