Note to self: an unpretentious parsley soup...

Curley parsley.  Lots.  Chopped with stalks.
Leek.
Sweat in 30grams of butter.

A few potatoes peeled - mostly to thicken
Light chicken stock.

Simmer.

Mix chopped chives into whisked cream.

Add a handful chopped fresh parsley to the soup.

Blend. Not for long.  MODIFICATION - BLEND LONGER

Put back into saucepan.

Cream.  Salt.  Black pepper.

Serve with a bit of pepper and the chive cream.

This is a really good looking starter - and completely unpretentious.
