This sounds easy and wonderful. I have not tried it yet, but I will keep my eyes open for some Endive next time I go to the market.

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced

Directions

  1. Mince the endives, reserving a few small leaves for garnish.
  2. Saute the onion, garlic, and endives in the butter for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the potatoes and chicken broth, bring to a boil then turn down the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
  4. Place the mixture into a blender container or use an immersion blender.
  5. Blend until smooth.
  6. Add the milk, salt, and pepper and blend some more.
