["Combine potatoes, onion, leeks and carrots with water in a large saucepan; add salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until veggies are very tender, from 30 to 40 minutes.", "At this point, ask yourself: What would Bugs do? a) cool it down and puree in a blender with the orange juice and the ginger b) leave it in the saucepan and use a immersion blender to puree with the orange juice and the ginger, or c) Not wait for it to cool down but immediately puree with the orange juice and the ginger in a blender, taking the little plastic thing out of the center of the cover and holding the cover on with a folded towel so it doesn't erupt like an Acme blender would. (Correct response: C)", "If you wish, you can pout it through a sieve, but you don't have to. Stir in yogurt, chill thoroughly, and serve forth garnished with chopped chives or pickled ginger (or both), whilst saying ""Ahhhh .... what's up, doc?"""]
