Potage aux primeurs - Spring time soup

I don't even know how to pronounce this delicious French soup inspired by blogging 

food Goddess Mimi. 

I love soups and it was very easy to find all ingredients at the farmers market this morning. 

Even Loui looks forward to goodies from the local market.

This is a very simple and tasty recipe, 

I love it as a starter or even just alone.

Ingredients
2 leeks, cut into julienne strips
1 cup of fresh green peas 
1 large carrot, cut in julienne strips
2 turnips, diced very finely
2 quarts of organic chicken stock

Salt and pepper to taste

A handful of parsley, chopped (to be sprinkled over soup when served)
4 egg yolks

Instructions:

1. Wash all vegetables, slice and chop according to ingredients list above.  

2. In a large pot, bring the stock to a boil and add all the vegetables except the peas.

  

3. Boil 5 minutes and add peas. Turn the heat down and leave to simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

 4. Whisk egg yolks in a small bowl, add 4 tablespoons of  the soup to blend.  

5. Take soup off the heat and add the egg yolks, making sure to whisk continuously to avoid any egg curdling.

6. Season with salt and pepper to your taste 

  

Serve immediately and top with parsley leaves, 

Enjoy!
