Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garnish: sprig of rosemary, fresh parsley, and black pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash some of the potatoes with a potato masher instead.
- Slowly stir in the low-fat milk, allowing the soup to thicken to your desired consistency.
- Add the chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, stirring well to incorporate the flavors.
- Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprig of rosemary, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve hot and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
For a smoother soup, blend all the ingredients thoroughly. To make it even heartier, add some diced carrots or celery into the pot with the potatoes. For convenience, you can use dried herbs instead of fresh – just reduce the quantity by half.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Pairings
This soup pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad and a slice of crusty whole-grain bread. For a beverage, try pairing it with a crisp white wine or a refreshing herbal tea.
