Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped shallot
1 cup chopped peeled potato
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup firmly packed chopped watercress
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream, as desired
Sliced toasted almonds and chopped chives, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Stir in the watercress and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full per batch).
  • Stir in the cream and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency and seasoning with additional water, salt and pepper.
  • Serve hot sprinkled with almonds and chives.
