Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1 kg)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (approximately 150 g)
  • 2 medium carrots, diced (about 150 g)
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped (approximately 100 g)
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (1 liter)
  • 1 cup milk or cream (240 ml)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter (30 g)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the broth.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  3. Once the potatoes are tender, puree the soup until smooth using a blender or leave it chunky for more texture.
  4. Stir in the milk or cream gently, and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs for a touch of color and flavor.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or red pepper flakes when cooking the vegetables. You can also experiment with different toppings like shredded cheese or bacon bits.
