Easy And Comforting Potato And Onion Soup
This potato and onion soup is for those people looking for something simple, hearty, and flavorful. It is an excellent dish that is packed with creamy potatoes and caramelized onions and is perfect for weekly meal prep.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 large Onion chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 4 medium Russet Potatoes peeled and diced
- 750 ml Vegetable Broth
- 1 tsp Red Chili Flakes
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1 Bay Leaf
- Salt
- Black Pepper Powder
Instructions
- Start by heating olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add your chopped onions and cook them until they’re golden brown and soft, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Next, add the peeled and diced potatoes into the pot. Stir them around for a minute so they’re coated with onions and garlic. Then add red chili flakes, oregano, bay leaf and pour in vegetable broth, and bring the soup to a boil.
- Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and mushy.
- Remove the bay leaf and transfer the mixture to a blender to puree it for a velvety smooth soup.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper, pour the soup into the serving bowls, and add a dollop of olive on top.
- Your potato and onion soup is ready to serve hot with a slice of garlic bread on the side.
Notes
- Make it creamy: For a rich and creamy soup, add a splash of heavy cream, half-and-half, or even coconut milk. This adds a velvety texture and makes the soup feel extra indulgent.
- Add protein: Add shredded chicken, bacon, or beans for some extra protein. It will make the soup more filling and satisfying and turn it into a complete meal
- Make it vegan: If you like to make this soup completely plant-based, just skip adding the butter and use only olive oil, or go for vegan butter.
- Herbs and fresh ingredients: Adding fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley will give the soup a fresh, aromatic flavor. You can also top it with croutons or a sprinkle of cheese to elevate it even more!
