BEST EVER POTATO SOUP



Best Ever Potato Soup image

You'll be surprised at the taste of this rich and cheesy easy potato soup. It really is the best potato soup recipe, ever. I came up with it after enjoying baked potato soup at one of our favorite restaurants. I added bacon, and we think that makes it even better. -Coleen Morrissey, Sweet Valley, Pennsylvania

OLD-FASHIONED POTATO SOUP



Old-Fashioned Potato Soup image

This soup is closest to the soup I remember as child. I have seen many renditions of it surface in several bistros. It is easy and the method can be applied to broccoli or cauliflower.

PARSLEY-POTATO SOUP



Parsley-Potato Soup image

Categories     Bread     Potato     Vegan     Parsley     Simmer

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups water with 2 vegetable bouillon cubes, or other stock option (page 9)
6 medium potatoes, preferably a mealy variety like russet, peeled and diced
2 bay leaves
4 ounces vegan cream cheese, diced
1/2 cup firmly packed chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
2 cups rice milk, or as needed
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to sauté until both are golden.
  • Add the water with bouillon cubes, potatoes, and bay leaves. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently until the potatoes are just tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove about 1/2 cup of the hot liquid with a ladle and transfer it to a small mixing bowl. Combine with the cream cheese and whisk together until smooth and creamy. Stir into the soup along with the parsley and dill.
  • Slowly sprinkle in the oats. Simmer for another 20 to 25 minutes over very low heat, or until the potatoes are completely tender.
  • Add enough rice milk to give the soup a slightly thick consistency, then season with salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaves. Heat through and serve. This soup thickens as it stands; thin as needed with additional rice milk, then adjust the seasonings.
