"Plommek soup is tradtionally served with a spoonful of sour cream on
top; this is carefully swirled out with a spoon to amke a spiral
shape, representative of the galaxy. The outline of the galaxy is
then emphasized with very finely chopped parsley. for less festive
occaisions, it may be served with a small spoonful of butter (or
maragarine) in the centre. In the pot, melt the butter and when it is
foamy, add the onion and fry until golden. Add everything else to the
pot except the last cup of water and the sour cream and parsley
garnishes. simmer, covered, for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the
potatoes and carrots are tender. Run it all through the blender,
about 1 to 1 1/2 cups at a time. When it is all pureed, rinse the
cooking pot with the cup of water and add that to the 'empty'
blender. Run the blender for a few seconds and then slosh the water
about to get as much of the vegetable puree as possible off the sides
of the blender. Add this liquid to the soup. Pour the soup back into
the cleaned out pot and reheat it before serving (use very gentle
heat). Ladle into bowls. Garnish with sour cream and parsley as
described above.
