- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions
- Sauté onions and garlic: Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat until hot. Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Cook potatoes in broth: Add diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes.
- Blend the soup: Using an immersion blender or carefully transferring to a blender, blend the soup until completely smooth and creamy. Return the blended soup to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, add a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
- Serve and garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve immediately to enjoy the comforting, soothing qualities of this garlic potato soup.
Notes
- For a creamier soup, add a splash of plant-based milk or cream after blending.
- You can substitute vegetable broth with chicken broth if desired.
- This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid curdling.
- Adjust garlic quantity depending on your preference for pungency.
