One of my daily goals, where appropriate, is to see that Herself is fed well and properly. As it's a chilly day with the fire lit, that means a rich and creamy soup.
Chicken and leek stock, made with leg quarters and the greens from the leeks, all submitted to several hours in the pressure cooker.
About 1.5 quarts of that was heated to simmer with two chopped leaks (white and light green parts) and one fair sized carrot, chopped.
After about two hours simmering, shredded chicken, and chosen spices and herbs were added along with a teaspoon of chicken soup base. A handful of rice was also added, as that's how bisque is thickened. Another 45 minutes simmering, and shredded cheddar and rich cream were incorporated using a stick blender.
Blended till smooth, it's as you see here. Super creamy, rich, satisfying, and perfect for the day.
What does one have alongside a bowl of this gorgeous soup? Crispy corn bread cooked in the waffle maker, of course! One quarter makes a perfect serving.
