Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 medium Carrot
- 2 Celery stalks
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Vegetable stock
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Peel and thinly slice the carrots. Dice the celery and onion. Mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic, and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend, then return to the pot.
Stir in the low-fat milk, and season with salt and ground black pepper. Let the soup warm through for 5 minutes over low heat, but do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting, low-fat potato soup!
