Directions:
- Soak the cod in cold water at least 24 hours in advance. Change the water, several times a day. Then cut in pieces.
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sauté leeks until they brown slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until they begin to take on a slight tan color, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Toss in potatoes, carrot, pumpkin, and cod pieces. Immediately, pour in enough water to cover, 4 to 5 cups. Add about 1 teaspoon salt or less to the water, as the cod might still contain salt. Bring soup to a boil, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until potatoes are the desired softness. Stir once or twice. Depending on the size of the potato pieces, simmer for 15 to 25 minutes.
- Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed. Serve alone or with good bread.
- Author Marina Chang's tips: Two basic types of porrusalda exist, with and without cod. Excluding cod from the soup makes it no less genuine.
- Many cooks will not include garlic or sauté their leeks, and may stir in olive oil only at the end, into the nearly finished product. I find the simple steps of pan-frying the leeks and garlic add greatly to the flavor of these vegetables, as does the oil in the porrusalda.
- Extra! Tip from Epicurious: The small, round, orange Japanese squash called kuri squash most closely approximates the Basque pumpkin, and can be found at many farmers' markets. If you are unable to find kuri squash, American pumpkin is fine for this soup.
