Ingredients:

4 potatoes
680g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
70g
3 garlic cloves
9g
3 cups arugula
60g
3 cups vegetable broth
720g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Peel and dice the potatoes.
- Dice the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Loosely pack the arugula into cups.
2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
3. Cook the Potatoes:
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and mix well with the onion and garlic.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are fully covered.
- Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Cover and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
4. Add the Arugula:
- Once the potatoes are tender, add the arugula to the pot.
- Stir the arugula into the soup and let cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the arugula is wilted.
5. Season:
- Add a dash of black pepper and a dash of salt to taste.
- Stir well to combine.
6. Blend the Soup:
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot. Be careful while handling hot liquids.

7. Final Adjustments:
- Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
8. Serve:
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with a few fresh arugula leaves or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor and presentation.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamier texture.

- For a richer flavor, sauté the onions and garlic until they are golden brown.

- Make sure to puree the soup until smooth for a velvety consistency.

- Add the arugula at the end to maintain its peppery flavor and vibrant green color.

- If you prefer a chunkier soup, reserve some of the potatoes after cooking and add them back in after blending.

- Season sparingly with salt and pepper, as the vegetable broth will contribute to the overall seasoning.

- For an added nutrient boost, consider tossing in a handful of spinach or kale along with the arugula.

You now have a warm bowl of vegan potato and arugula soup that is both comforting and nutritious. Whether you are enjoying it as a light lunch or a satisfying dinner, this soup is bound to become one of your favorite go-to recipes. Enjoy it with a slice of crusty bread or some vegan croutons for an extra touch of indulgence. Bon appétit!
