Soup as a digital vault, filled with spicy coins and a sharp twist.
Clear broth with round croutons and halved boiled eggs as 'cryptocoins' inside a 'vault' built from stacked leek rings. The silhouette shows a digital safe full of coins, referring to the massive crypto theft. Neat on the outside, but with a sharp, spicy kick inside.
Ingredients
- 2 liters chicken stock
- 2 leeks
- 4 eggs
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 red chili pepper
- 1 bunch chives
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Heat the chicken stock in a large pot.
- Cut the leeks into thick rings about 1 cm wide.
- Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, cool, peel, and halve them.
- Remove the crusts from the bread and cut out 12 round shapes with a glass or cutter.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Fry the bread rounds with chopped garlic until golden and crisp.
- Slice the red chili pepper into thin rings.
- Blanch the leek rings in the stock for 1 minute, remove and pat dry.
- On each soup plate, stack the leek rings to form a small 'vault'.
- Arrange the egg halves and croutons as 'coins' in and around the vault. Sprinkle with chili and chives.
- Carefully pour the hot broth around the vault so the silhouette remains visible.
Serving notes
