Easiest Potato Soup

 

Ingredients:

 

4 smallish potatoes, peeled

1/2 large onion

1 carrot, peeled

1 T oil

salt and pepper

(optional: veg. broth)

 

Directions:

 

Cut potatoes and carrot into 1-inch cubes, more than cover with water

in a saucepan (some veg. broth is also good), and bring to a boil.

 

Saute onion in oil until brown.

 

When potatoes are soft, dump out most of the cooking water except for

the last 2 inches, and dump in the onions. Set aside a few

chunks of potatoes and some of the onions, then blend the big pot of

potatoes and onions with a hand-held blender or mixer, or use a food

processor or blender, being very careful not to splash! Add water, veg.

broth, or soy milk as needed for desired soup-like consistency. Add the

set-aside potatoes and the onions back to the big pot and stir.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

 

Serves: 3-4

 

Preparation time: about 25 min.

I have a similar version I will share.

 

Yukon Gold Potatoes

white or yellow onions

celery with leaves

minced garlic

dill (to taste)

salt ""

pepper ""

butter 1 to 2 tablespoons

 

I peel and dice my potatoes adding them to ice water before they are cooked. I chop my onion and celery. I then put potatoes in a large pot,

add water to cover them by about two to three inches. I boil the potatoes and then add my celery, onions, butter and dill. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook on simmer until potatoes are tender. I mash a few to thicken broth. This is a quick and easy recipe and is a big hit on a cool Fall day. I serve it with some crusty butter bread. If you like a little zip I have added some hot sauce to my bowl at serving time or even have diced up some chili pepper for some added heat.
