This is a twist on the usual potato soup... We made this today (August 14, 2011) for a fun little contest a friend (Greg from this site) had us do... The challenge was use broccoli, lemon and red bell pepper... I think this came out excellent.... all of the kids loved it! This is my photo.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

FRESH VEGGIES AND FRUITS
1 large red bell pepper (chopped)
1 medium yellow bell pepper (minced)
2 bunch green onions (chopped)
3 lb potaotes (any variety... mixed varieties)
1 large lemon (juice and zest)
LEFT OVERS
4 italian sausages (cut in half lengthwise, then cut up)
2 c broccoli florets (cooked leftovers... or fresh)
MILK AND SPICES
1 tsp each: dried basil, garlic salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper
1 can(s) cream of celery soup
6 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Wash potatoes, leave skin on, cut up to desired sizes. (I used a variety of potatoes... you can use what ever potatoes you like). Put potatoes in a large sauce pan, add enough water to almost cover the potatoes.
  • 2. Add the chopped up onions, lemon juice and lemon zest. Cook until potatoes are almost tender and liquid thickens.
  • 3. Add the chopped up Italian sausages, milk, soup and spices. Simmer, stirring frequently until potatoes are tender and soup thickens.
  • 4. Saute or steam the red bell pepper and do the same with the yellow bell pepper.
  • 5. If using left over broccoli, heat it up.... if using fresh broccoli... steam it until bright green and tender.
  • 6. Put the soup into bowls, garnish with broccoli and the red and yellow bell peppers as in photo

This soup is a great base recipe. You can easily customize it to your own taste by adding different vegetables, herbs, or spices.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This soup was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter broth.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much water.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe, but it still turned out delicious. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth and added some chopped carrots and celery.

I'm not a big fan of potato soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It was creamy, flavorful, and so satisfying.

This Italian potato soup was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and so flavorful. I loved the addition of the Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
