Potato Soup!

Tonights dinner was simple! I got it from a blog I have mentioned before.  I love this blog, its focused on making shopping for vegan meals quick and cheap! So because my Wednesdays are so busy I chose to make a quick soup that could finish cooking while I was at class until 9pm.

 This soup only has 7 ingredients and took just a few min to prepare.  Tonight I was patient and let everything cook properly but I was not patient when getting ready to eat it!  I am not a huge fan of cabbage so I left that out and replaced it with a small onion.  I love onions so that was a simple switch for me.  One modification to the recipe that I did was not so vegan.  Looking at it and tasting the soup when it was almost done it reminded me of veggie soup and as much as I love that I was looking for a soup that was hearty and full.  So I added just 2 Tbsp of heavy cream and let that simmer just a little longer. Perfection! I am a basil lover! We grew live basil this summer and were constantly making pesto and using it on everything! I think everything needs basil! So I threw some flakes on top and you might not like that idea but I think everything I cook always needs basil!



If you are looking for a good soup on these cold "spring" days I suggest it!
Have a good night friends and followers! Ill be back tomorrow with curry fried rice!

  1. Another hearty, quick and easy potato soup: cook up potatoes and leeks in water or broth. Salt and pepper to taste. Puree when both veggies are soft. And yes, I would add sour cream to it at the end.
