Simple Recipes

A potato soup recipe can be easy to make; just apply a few extra tips. Bring the water to a boil first. Pour that boiling water over the pot of cubed potatoes. It will come back to a boil quickly, and you'll spend less time watching over it. Then you can just simmer the pot another 20 minutes or so, and the potatoes will be done.




Healthy Recipes


Forgo the addition of less-healthy extras, like hunks of bacon or bouillon cubes. The sauteed onions and fresh-cooked potatoes are full of flavor. Dijon mustard and nutmeg add a nice touch to this potato soup recipe. Whole foods, natural flavors; what more do we need?

Potato Swiss Soup


I adapted this recipe from an excellent fondue recipe, since we eat soup a lot more often than we do fondue. It hits the spot. Quite popular at The New Deli! Serves 8.


Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 lb. or so potatoes (about 3 medium large)
  • 2 c. chopped onion
  • 1 TBS. fresh-chopped garlic
  • 1/3 c. olive oil
  • 1/3 c. flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 5 oz. (about 1 c. grated) Swiss cheese
  • 2 TBS. blue cheese
  • 1/2 c. cream (or substitute milk)
  • 1/2 TBS. dijon mustard
  • 1 TBS. white vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg (fresh-grated if possible)



In a medium pot, simmer in water just to cover: > Approx. 2 1/2 lb. peeled  potatoes, cubed


Meanwhile, in small saucepan, simmer with lid on, stirring some: > 2 c. chopped onion > 1 TBS. fresh-chopped garlic > 1/3 c. olive oil


When onions are very soft, add & mix till smooth: > 1/3 c. flour > 1 1/2 tsp. salt

     

To flour mix, add, mix till smooth: > Hot broth from cooked potatoes


Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil 2 min.

Add, let sit 5-10 min. until melted in when stirred: > 5 oz. (approx. 1 c. grated) swiss cheese > 2 TBS. blue cheese


Last, add above back into potato pot, plus: >1/2 c. cream (or substitute milk) > 1/2 TBS. Dijon mustard > 1 TBS. white vinegar > 1/4 tsp. nutmeg (fresh-grated if possible)
