The one time I made it using the NY Times Cookbook recipe, blending it
to mush then chilled did not appeal to me. I kept it chunky and ate it
hot. I loved it. There were no leftovers to chill.

Maybe not in an expensive restaurant but, made at home, plain yellow
onions will do fine. Leeks are overrated and too expensive IMO. Same
thing with green onions and shallots too. They're just onions!

Oh no! Leeks do taste different than onions. Each has its place in
cooking. I would not eat a raw leek but braised leeks are good and, of
course, raw red and green onions can be good.

Got to respectfully disagree with you there, Sheldon. Jerry Avins
once posted a potato soup recipe with onions in another ng. It
sounded boring to me but I happened to have all the ingredients so I
made a batch. One of the best soups I'd ever tried....and the recipe
was so simple.

Just one chef? Heaven forbid there is a chance that he is wrong. Some
people are sometimes. I had a cousin who lived in Detroit and visited
our grandparents in Toronto frequently. He argued that Toronto could not
expand because of permafrost.

Every recipe I have seen calls for leeks, but not all require potatoes.

Leeks, spanish onion, scallions, cooking onions, chives all have similar
qualities. They are not interchangeable.

I cannot eat onions but I can eat leeks in moderation, so they are
not the same.

Nonetheless, you should try it. Mind you, you take out a portion
of the soup to mush, not the entire thing. When I make it, there
are pieces of potato and the mushed potatoes serve to smooth out
the creamy part.

And cold is the way it is meant to be eaten.

Reminds me of Rimmer in Red Dwarf who was laughed at at the
Captain's table because he complained his gazpacho was cold and
asked the cook to heat it up for him.

Nope, they aren't interchangeable. They may be related species-wise but
to me they taste decidedly different. Perhaps one needs a more
discerning palate to taste the difference. I never thought of myself
that way, but perhaps it's true. I could definitely taste the
difference in a leek vs. green onions in potato-leek soup.

Sheldon doesn't like cream anything. Too bad. I happen to love cream
soups. Even if they don't contain cream. My pureed roasted
butternut squash soup is really nice. It might even be good cold, I
just don't like cold soups.

It just seems to me that if you cook it all then chill it and eat it
cold....it's like eating leftovers cold because you are in a hurry to
eat something or are just to lazy to heat it up.

I loved it hot and chunky...didn't blend any of it. The thought of
eating that cold does not appeal to me. It would still taste good but
heated would be better to me.

I think I have mentioned that a similar thing is done with gazpacho:
half is blended but half is retained coarsely chopped and added to the
blend.

Again... not everyone is a fan of cold soups. I prefer hot soup, even
in the heat of summer. But hey, I have air conditioning. It doesn't
really matter to me if it is hot outside. (I use the oven in the
summer, too.) The only thing "seasonal" about the soup I make is it
depends on the availability of fresh ingredients. I don't like cold
food in general. I doubt I'll ever like cold soup.

He also has a think about cheese and fish, apparently the advice of a
Chinese chef... from the land of the lactose intolerant, where they just
don't do cheese period.


Butternut squash soup is one of my favourite soups. The corner bakery
cafe does on with a bit of apple in it.I always add curry powder to
mine. I have had plenty of delicious cream soups in the past... tomato,
mushroom, broccoli, cauliflower. I am hoping that now that my gall
bladder is gone I might be able to enjoy more creamy foods.

I think most soups are greatly improved with a bit of cream added.

Oh, heavens, yes. I can't imagine a green onion/potato soup. IMO
green onions are not at their best when cooked. They should be used
raw or added at the very last.

I often make potato leek soup with a yellow onion
substituting for the leek. Tastes real good.

Could be that there are places and times where
leeks are as common as yellow onion. I like
the soup as well with yellow onion as with leek.

You don't realize how stupid you look when you write crap like that? The flavor of green onions is nothing like onions. You need to get rid of those filthy ferrets that **** and shit in every corner of your house and stink even when they're not ****ing or shitting. Your nose is so clogged with ferret filth that you can't tell the difference between an onion bulb and onion tops.

The rest of us can distinguish between different foods because we don't live in a weaselarium.

I love green onions. They are expensive to buy unless you are going
to use them within a short while. My mother always grew them and in
Wisconsin it was possible to have them in the ground most of the
summer. Out here the weather changes to hot very quickly and all the
cool weather crops go to seed.

No, you didn't. I wrote the first paragraph quoted - they aren't
interchangeable. I also don't have filthy weasels defecating in my house.

John J and Bryan (both k/f'd for lack of interest as much as annoyance)
really need to take their private petty quarrels someplace else.

Bryan is talking out of his ass. His only experience with ferrets was
Kuthe's house and evidently John didn't keep up with them. My house
doesn't smell and I do know that. My nose is very sensitive. I come
home from work and I'll smell something that's not right.

My ferrets are litter trained and I change the papers several times a
day. Bryan doesn't know anything about having ferrets other that what
John did or did no do. If you don't keep up with the litter etc, even
a cat or dog will make your house reek of poo and urine.

Ferrets have the mistaken reputation of being stinky because they have
anal scent glands just like skunks do. They are not the same and
don't deserve the mistaken reputation.

A bunch of green onions will last for a week in the fridge. You may have

The best method is to strip them back, cut the root ends, then pack them
in slightly moist paper towels in a ziplock bag.

I use the damp paper towels. I just don't trim roots or strip them
and they do fine for over a week.

No, it isn't. They are different flavours and textures. Green onions
are so fragile they are best used raw; they quickly cook away to nothing
so you could not sub them for onions in a casserole, stew, soup or
long-cooking sauce.

It's just me, Janet UK. I LOVE onions and strong. I always use more
than called for in a recipe. Onions are onions to me and I'll
substitute any time.
