"Plommek soup is tradtionally served with a spoonful of sour cream on
top; this is carefully swirled out with a spoon to amke a spiral
shape, representative of the galaxy. The outline of the galaxy is
then emphasized with very finely chopped parsley. for less festive
occaisions, it may be served with a small spoonful of butter (or
maragarine) in the centre.

In the pot, melt the butter and when it is foamy, add the onion and
fry until golden. Add everything else to the pot except the last cup
of water and the sour cream and parsley garnishes. simmer, covered,
for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are
tender. Run it all through the blender, about 1 to 1 1/2 cups at a
time. When it is all pureed, rinse the cooking pot with the cup of
water and add that to the 'empty' blender. Run the blender for a few
seconds and then slosh the water about to get as much of the
vegetable puree as possible off the sides of the blender. Add this
liquid to the soup. Pour the soup back into the cleaned out pot and
reheat it before serving (use very gentle heat). Ladle into bowls.
Garnish with sour cream and parsley as described above.
