Potato soup with onion and garlic is a comforting and delicious dish perfect for any season. This recipe uses simple, wholesome ingredients like potatoes, onions, garlic, and vegetable broth to create a creamy and flavorful soup. Additionally, almond milk is used to provide a dairy-free option that maintains the rich texture. Follow these instructions to prepare a delightful and hearty soup that will warm you and your loved ones from the inside out.
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic clove.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small, even pieces.
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and soft.
- Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute, stirring continuously to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot with the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the pot from heat.
- If you prefer a smooth soup, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth. Be careful with the hot liquid.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes in the pot, leaving some chunks.
- Return the pot to low heat and stir in 1/2 cup of almond milk.
- Heat the soup gently, stirring occasionally, until it’s warmed through. Do not let it boil.
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or chives), a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of paprika for added flavor and presentation.
By following these steps, you will create a delicious pot of potato soup with onion and garlic, perfect for a cozy meal. This soup is not only easy to make but also nutritious and satisfying. Enjoy it as a starter or a main dish, and relish the wonderful flavors and creamy texture.
