FIVE LILY SOUP

• Add stock, soy sauce and molasses.
• Scrape up browned bits, bring to a boil, then turn down heat and simmer partly covered for 30 minutes (less if you like firmer vegetables).
• If not a vegan meal, this soup can be served with garlic bread croutons with melted cheese.

SIX LILIES SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, sweat the onion, leek, shallots, garlic and green onions in the butter keeping the heat on low, placing a piece of parchment paper directly on top of the ingredients, and covering pot tightly for 20 minutes or so. This step allows the ingredients to release their moisture and flavor without their liquids evaporating. Add the stock and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the half and half and sherry and puree in a food procesor or blender. Garnish with chopped chives.
