On the blog today is yet another delicious and creamy soup that is part of our Journey cooking through the “Joy of Cooking” cookbook. If you’re just tuning it, click HERE for more information on what we’re doing. On page 184 in the book is where we discovered this creamy, smooth, and satisfying Potato Soup. As far as soups go, we have yet to experience any recipe failures but the jury is still out on that one. There are still so many to get through, but we will get through them don’t you worry.
There are several ways to enjoy Potato Soup. Some have chunks of veggies and potatoes, some are topped with ingredients that you would top a baked potato, and some (like this recipe) are just downright creamy and smooth. We simplified our toppings by just adding chives, but feel free to top yours with cheese, bacon, parsley, shrimp, etc. The options are endless.
Did I mention how easy this recipe is to make? It’s as simple as chopping up some potatoes, celery, and onion. Sauteing them in butter, then boiling them in water. Discard the liquid and blend together potatoes in veggies until smooth. Season to taste, thin the consistency with chicken stock and your done. In a hot minute, you can enjoy a batch of this goodness any day of the week.
That concludes our post for today, feel free to reach out with any questions or even to just share your experience making this recipe. Otherwise we hope you have enjoy yourself, and happy cooking friends!
