Old Fashioned Lovage and Potato Soup image

A family favourite in our household.....a creamy and easy soup which needs nothing more than good crusty rolls or home-baked bread to serve with it. This travels well in a Thermos flask making it an ideal and comforting soup to take on a picnic. This recipe is based on a Historical 16th/17th Century recipe, no milk was added then - it was made with stock only.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 kg potato, scrubbed and cubed
1/2 liter good vegetable stock (adjust to give preferred consistency) or 1/2 liter chicken stock (adjust to give preferred consistency)
1/2 liter milk
5 tablespoons chopped lovage (retain small amount for garnish)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, saute the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent; then add the cubed potatoes and mix together.
  • Add the stock and milk, simmering until the potatoes are nearly tender.
  • When potatoes are soft,add the lovage and liquidise the soup, adding further stock or milk if a thinner consistency is required.
  • Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return to the saucepan and heat through gently - do NOT allow the soup to boil.
  • Serve hot and garnish with the remaining lovage and crusty bread and butter or bread rolls.
  • This travels very well in a thermos flask for a warming picnic soup.

I'm not a big fan of lovage, but I decided to give this soup a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The lovage flavor is really mild and it pairs perfectly with the potatoes.
