Creamy Potato Soup

November 15, 2015 By Mihaela K. Sebrek Leave a Comment

Since winter is coming and the weather is cooler and cooler, various soups can be found on our table at this time of year. And I often get “an order” from my hubby: ” Please, can we have something light and meatless for lunch today?!”I really don’t remember how many times we had soup for lunch this summer, except Homemade Fresh Tomato Soup. I would publish the recipe for this one, but I forgot to write it down, so it will wait until next year. I am so happy winter is coming, and we crave warm and comforting food and this soup is the best.

Creamy Potato SoupI don’t use heavy cream in any of my creamy soup. Instead, I add sour cream and/or milk and I get perfectly creamy soup without extra calories. This soup is ready in about 30 minutes and also makes fantastic leftovers.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium carrot sliced
  • 1 celery stalk sliced
  • 400 grams potatoes (5 smaller) peeled and diced
  • 500 ml water or chicken stock (2 cups)

  • 1/4 cup sour cream + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a large stockpot melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft.
  • Add diced potatoes, pour water/stock and milk, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally every few minutes.
  • In a small bowl mix sour cream, flour, and sweet paprika.
  • When potatoes are cooked, stir in sour cream mixture and cook for additional 3-4 minutes, until soup thickens a bit. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm, garnish with crispy diced bacon.
  • *Optional: with an immersion blender, blend soup to smooth consistency (I often do that, but I leave few chunks of veggies)
