Transfer soup to two bowls and serve, topped with a tsp of chives each.
Note, if you think it needs more, you might be a witch. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. If you do not have an immersion blender, pour your soup into a food processor or regular blender and puree until smooth.Īdd lemon juice and cream and stir to combine. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until creamy. Next, add cress to the pot and stir for about a minute until the greens are wilted. Continue to simmer, covered, on low for about 20 minutes until potatoes have softened. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil- reduce heat to low and cover the pot. If potatoes have been soaking, remove them from the water and drain thoroughly. Caramelize for about 10 minutes until mostly translucent, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent leeks from burning. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a bit of cracked pepper. Add leeks and celery to the pot and stir to coat. You are in for a treat.įirst, prep your ingredients- and make sure your watercress is thoroughly rinsed! Peel and chop your potatoes last, or they will brown (if this starts to happen before you add your potatoes to the soup, you can keep them in a bowl of ice water until they are needed).Īdd butter and olive oil to a pot and melt over medium heat until butter begins to foam. So now it’s time to gather your loved ones close (including children, if they dare, the stinking little carbuncles), and enjoy a meal suited for 1990’s The Witches.
Seriously, just look at this lewk, collective Lukes: My own gramma taught me that if I didn’t have anything nice to say I shouldn’t say anything at all– so I won’t say anything about the new Witches remake featuring Anne Hathaway in the iconic role… except that no one (especially Anne Hathaway, oops, I said it) could ever replicate Angelica’s performance as her grandness, Miss Ernst, the evilest of all evil witches. Author Roald Dahl was a master of this in his books, and though it’s known he didn’t appreciate how the ending of The Witches differed from the one he published in 1983, I think producer Jim Henson and director Nick Roeg were successful in creating a film that visually frightens, disgusts, and entertains all at once.Īnd let’s just take a moment and appreciate Angelica Houston as the Grand High Witch. But this is why I love late 80’s and early 90’s movies for children– they were often dark and absurdly grotesque in a way that mirrored the experience of childhood itself. It’s always been that moment early in the film, when “Ereeka’s” father sees the painting. I loved and feared The Witches as a child.
