Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup chopped kale or spinach (optional)
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
- After blending, return the soup to the pot. Stir in the almond milk and add chopped kale or spinach if using. Heat for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the greens to wilt.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color and flavor!
