Ingredients:
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.
Tips:
- Dice the onions and garlic finely to ensure they blend well into the soup.
- For a creamier consistency, you can blend a portion of the soup or all of it using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor and color.
- If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth or almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
- For a heartier soup, add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or leeks.
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.
