CREAMY AND HEALTHY QUICK POTATO SOUP



Creamy and Healthy Quick Potato Soup image

This is a favorite of mine. Light simple, quick to make and very very healthy. I love to serve this as a starter for a dinner party or served in small coffee cups as it makes a great comfort food sitting around the fireplace or watching the games on TV. Some grilled sandwiches and maybe some fries for a simple light dinner.

Time 40m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 large potatoes, peeled and very rough chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and very rough chopped
1 large onion, rough very chopped
5 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup heavy cream (you can use a lighter cream or even milk if you like)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme, chopped
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)
crumbled bacon
chopped scallion
thick slices of baguettes topped with melted gruyere or swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Start -- In a large pot on medium heat, add the butter and melt, then add the garlic and cook just a minute. Next, add the onions, carrots and potatoes and cook another minute until mixed well. Add the broth, bay leaf and thyme and cook on medium until all the vegetables are soft. About 15 minutes.
  • Puree -- First remove the bay leaf -- Then just use an immersion blender. Or you can add the soup to a regular blender and blend until everything is a smooth texture. I love the immersion blender right in the pot, but both will work just fine. If using a regular blender return the soup to the pot. Then add the fresh parsley, heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste. Now this soup is thin, it is not meant to be thick. But if you want, mix a little water with the cornstarch to make a "slurry" and add to the soup and bring to a medium boil and it will thicken if you prefer it that way.
  • Finish -- I like to top with a baguette with melted gruyere and put it right on top of the soup and then some crumbled bacon. You can really top it anyway you like. The soup is healthy and quick and just very light and easy.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

Red potatoes
1 pkg Peppered gravy mix
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chicken broth
Bacon pieces or bacon bits
Shredded cheese
Salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wash, peel, & cube potatoes. Boil until potatoes are soft, or for a quick dinner prep, microwave until soft. Add remaining ingredients to pot, throw in potatoes (or mash if desired then put in pot), stir continuously until blended. When level of thickness is achieved, turn to low and stir occassionally. When ready to serve, pour into bowls, add bacon bits and/or shredded cheese on top, and enjoy! MMMmmmmm...

Tips:

  • Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for this soup, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the soup will be thinner.
  • To make the soup vegan, you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the butter.
  • If you like your soup with a little bit of a kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • For a more flavorful soup, you can roast the potatoes before adding them to the soup.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, you can cook it up to 3 days in advance. Just reheat it over low heat before serving.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, chopped chives, or crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

This quick and creamy potato soup is a comforting and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this soup is sure to become a family favorite.
