FEEL-GOOD WINTER SOUP

The veggies listed are only suggestions - the idea is to use up what you have on hand. You could even throw in some salad greens that are past their prime. Do not substitute powdered ginger for the fresh ginger root! The fresh ginger, garlic and onion are good for you.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this soup, as they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic vegetables, as they will be free of pesticides and herbicides.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and nutrients. Cook them just until they are tender, but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of your soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be careful not to over-season the soup, as you can always add more seasoning later.

Conclusion:

Potato soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a very versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a potato soup that is both delicious and nutritious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give potato soup a try!
