Looking for a hot creamy soup to warm up those cool autumn nights? Soups are a great gluten-free alternative for lunches and even dinners. By far my family’s favorite soup is my creamy potato soup. I found this easy gluten-free potato soup recipe years ago and unlike so much of what I make lately, this recipe is a hit every single time I make it! I particularly like this recipe because it has so few ingredients. It is one of those recipes I can pull out of my bag on days that I forgot to go to the supermarket because all I need is 4 potatoes, an onion, and some parsley. Here is the recipe:
Creamy Potato Soup
4 Large Potatoes (Diced)
1 Large Onion
4 Cups Water
1/3 Cup Oil
1/4 Cup Minced Parsley
2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Pepper
Place all of the ingredients in a 4 quart pot and cook uncovered over moderate heat for 30-40 minutes.
With a spoon, press some of the potatoes against the side of the pot. (The more you press the thicker the soup.)
Enjoy!
My granmother made almost the same soup but used two cups of water and when the potatoes were done cooking added two cups of cream. The cream was sixty years ago I changed it to milk.
She also added diced ham or bacon which really added more flavor to the soup.
Than to change it even more sometimes I add broccoli, asparagus or cauliflower to the soup as it was cooking. I suppose I could have added other vegetables and had cream of whatever.
All your ideas sound delicious. Thanks for providing more great options.
I use a low amount of water until the potatoes are cooked and then add 1/4 tsp garlic powder, almond or soy milk, and then thicken with potato flour.
Soups are so easy and versatile.
