Potato Vegetable Soup
This creamy, hearty dish is stuffed with goodness and is as easy to make as it is to devour. Plus, it doesn’t just fill your belly; it fills your heart with warmth and joy!
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and let it sauté until it’s soft and slightly golden. You want it to shimmer like a superstar!
- Now, add the garlic and carrots. Give it a gentle stir, and let those veggies mingle for another 5 minutes. The aroma should be heavenly by now!
- Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth. Turn up the heat and bring the mixture to a roaring boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. You can check them by poking with a fork. If it goes in easily, it’s time to celebrate! 🎉
- Once the potatoes are ready, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend away! Just be sure to let it cool a bit before blending, unless you enjoy very hot soup explosions. Safety first!
- If you’re feeling extra indulgent, stir in some heavy cream for a richer flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Now is the time to taste-test; make sure it’s perfect for your discerning palate!
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives for that extra flair. Now, dig in and let the comforting flavors dance in your mouth!
And there you have it! The perfect bowl of Potato Vegetable Soup to chase away those chills and fill you with comfort. Enjoy every spoonful and share some with friends, if you’re feeling generous—though we wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t!
