[karadekoolaid]

Ingredients:
350 gms leeks, white part only
½ tsp dried sage
4 spring onions (green onions), green parts reserved for garnish
400 gms carrots, diced
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 medium onion, diced
350 gms potato, diced
1,2 lts water
50 mls olive oil
2 tbsps double or non-dairy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:

• You'll need 2 separate pans for this recipe. Put the leeks into one pan, and the carrots into another, then add half the spring onions, onion, potato, water to each pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the sage to the leeks and the turmeric to the carrots.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer until tender.
• Purée the contents of each pan separately, adding half the oil, and adding the cream/non-dairy cream to the leek mixture. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• Pour each soup into a jug and chill (the soup, not you)
• To serve, pour the soups into a bowl, one jug from each side, at the same time, so you half half white and half orange in the bowl.
• Garnish with finely chopped spring/green onion leaves.

I'll have to give it a try one day. The three soups were from an old/ancient vegetarian cookbook I had.

Now you have me googling two soup recipes. This looks interesting

I've never actually made the recipe, although it looks super simple.
I found three recipes for cold soups in an old vegetarian cookbook, and since SatNavSaysStraightOn was looking for alternatives , I posted all three.
The possibilities are endless, I'd think: beetroot and tomato? Carrot and fennel? Or carrot and potato? Pumpkin and red pepper?
