Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cilantro sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and ground cumin. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the milk, chopped cilantro, sea salt, and black pepper. Return the pot to low heat and let the soup warm through for 5 minutes. Do not boil.
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of fresh cilantro.
