    As a kid I used to eat a whole bowl of croutons from my grandmother's kitchen while she was making soup and the croutons.
    They are just delicious when fresh, without anything, as a snack.
    The croutons were usually made from leftover sourdough Polish bread, fried in butter.
    I cherish those memories.

    This is one of my favorite recipes of Jacques. He's updated the recipe since this video to include using an immersion blender at the end instead of the food processor. No need to remove from the pot. Even my meat-eating husband enjoys this soup for dinner - just the soup and croutons - even if I don't add cream. So filling, warming, delicious, and easy to make with readily available ingredients. It really thickens up the second day should you have leftovers.

    Jacque is just pure awesomeness. I made this by accident a couple of weeks ago when I was using up some leftover vegetables from the refrigerator. Lots of leek and garlic but I did not have potatoes at the time. I added chicken broth and pureed in the food processor. It was possibly the BEST pot of soup I have ever made. Soup made from leeks and garlic is a particular pleasure.

    I just made this. It was a little thicker than I thought, so I added a little more water after I ran it through the food processor. It's not bad. I only have skim milk, so I didn't add any. I'm drinking some out of a coffee cup right now. That's the first time I ever used a leek in a recipe. Yes, I cut it and washed it. It had clumps of dirt in it. Edit: Oops, I forgot the croutons. lol. Oh well, I"ll make those tomorrow.

Not only has he shared his awesome gift of cooking knowledge with the world, but now he operates a charity with his wife. Thanks to him, I can now have a lovely, proper French omelet (traditional) at home any morning I chose instead of having to walk several blocks in the scorching heat and paying more than I can afford for 3 eggs and a knob of butter (+love and technique!). I watched that video many times and ate many less than desirable omelets but I got it down thanks to his patient explanations. I gotta try this garlic soup now!
