Ingredients
Produce
- 2 cups Spring Onions thinly sliced, white and green parts
- 1 Potato medium, peeled and diced
- 4 clove Garlic minced
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and lightly golden. This gentle sautéing releases the garlic's aroma and prevents burning.
- Add the sliced spring onions, both white and green parts, to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and slightly wilted. Reducing the heat prevents the onions from browning too quickly and ensures even cooking.
- Add the diced potatoes and salt to the pot. Stir well to combine. The salt helps to season the potatoes and draw out their moisture.
- Pour in the water. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Covering the pot traps the heat and steam, allowing the potatoes to cook evenly and quickly.
- Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender). Blend until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, work in batches and vent the lid to prevent splattering.
- Return the blended soup to the pot. If the soup is too thick, add a little more water until you reach your desired consistency. Gently reheat the soup over medium-low heat. Avoid boiling.
- Season the soup with black pepper and additional salt, if needed. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference. The black pepper adds a subtle warmth and depth of flavor.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- You can add lemon juice to the soup just before serving for a tangy taste.
- You can add parboiled potato to make the soup quickly.
- For added depth of flavor, sauté a small amount of cumin seeds in the olive oil before adding the garlic and spring onions.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, reserve a handful of sliced spring onion greens and some cooked potato before blending the soup, then stir them in at the end.
- To add a protein boost, stir in cooked yellow moong dal or silken tofu cubes after blending the soup.
- Garnish each serving with a drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of toasted crushed peanuts for a spicy, crunchy finish.
Expert Tips
- For a creamier soup, use a combination of both white and light green parts of the spring onions.
- Adjust the amount of water or broth according to your desired soup consistency.
- If you don’t have fresh spring onions, you can substitute with leeks or shallots, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
