Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Simmer the carrot, potato and leek in the broth until soft, roughly 10 minutes.
  2. To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter over low heat in a deep saucepan.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk until a pale golden color.
  4. Add the milk and whisk constantly for 10 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Season with the soy sauce and pepper.
  6. Remove from the heat, whisk in the egg yolks, being careful not to curdle the mixture, which will happen if it's too hot. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  7. In a food processor or blender, puree the carrot, potato and leek mixture with the broth. You'll have to do this in a few batches unless you have a REALLY BIG blender. ;).
  8. Add the coriander leaves and soy sauce and blend until smooth.
  9. Add the béchamel sauce and nuts to the food processor or blender and blend/chop. I added the nuts to about 2 cups of fluid so they'd break up easier instead of flying around in a huge sea of soup as far from the evil blades at the bottom as possible. I tricked them! NYA-HA-HAAAAA!
  10. *ahem* Sorry.
  11. Pour everything back into the saucepan over low heat and heat through, stirring.
  12. While still warm, toss in the cheese, stir for one minute and serve.
