Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for garnish)
• 4 cilantro sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and ground cumin. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the milk, chopped cilantro, sea salt, and black pepper. Return the pot to low heat and let the soup warm through for 5 minutes. Do not boil.

Step 7

Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot, optionally garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of fresh cilantro.
