Although it looks like a supporting character, the star of this show is the duck. It’s actually in the soup, too. The duck fry can be kept whole and noshed on as a snack on its own.

A Food Fight Round 5 recipe

Directions

Prepare the Croutons

1.

Lay duck fry in a cold pan and turn flame to low for five minutes.

Raise heat to medium and move the duck around as it crisps up and the fat melts.

3.

Drain fat and reserve for soup.

4.

Mix sriracha and honey and brush onto crispy duck fry. Cut into pieces.

Sauté onions in duck fat and oil over medium heat for three minutes.

Blend the soup with an immersion blender. I like to keep some chunks unblended.
