Creamy potato soup

Ingresients and Recipe of Creamy potato soup

This potato soup recipe is one of the most popular soup recipes all over the world.  It is rich, creamy, and bursting with a smoky and tangy flavor. If someone has any leftovers, it is even better the next day. To have some texture in the soup, only purée half of it. Do this by transferring half of the soup to an upright blender, pureeing it, and then stirring it back into the pot, although an immersion blender would also work.

After pureeing half of the soup, gently smash the remaining diced potatoes and white beans with a potato masher. The soup will still be lumpy, but the chunks will practically melt into the hot, creamy base, giving it a velvety texture. Fill this soup with typical baked potato ingredients to make it even more warm and delicious.

Pumpkin soup

Simple ways to make Pumpkin soup

This pumpkin soup recipe has three primary steps: roast, simmer and mix.

Carefully cut it in half vertically and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Place the pumpkin cut-side-down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the pumpkin in a 400° oven for 50-60 minutes, or until totally tender. When the roasted pumpkin is cool enough to handle, take away the skin and scoop out 4 1/2 cups of soft pumpkin flesh.

Sauté the onion in a large pot over medium heat until it softens. Stir in the spices, garlic, and ginger for approximately 30 seconds, or until aromatic. Simmer for 20 minutes after adding the measured pumpkin meat, stock, and coconut milk. Take the soup off the heat and add the vinegar. Finally, combine everything.

Fill bowls with the mixture and serve.
