Pour potato leek soup evenly into 4 soup bowls and garnish with smoked salmon crouton and fresh parsley. Servings: 4 Note from Chef Jamie: "Sweating" is the process of cooking over very low heat so that food doesn't obtain any color from the heat and vegetables cook until they are translucent and tender.
