Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 lbs) Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and skim milk together until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture into the soup, stirring continuously to avoid clumps.
Step 5
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Step 6
Season the soup with salt and ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 7
Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Step 8
Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with a slice of whole-grain bread for a complete, low-fat meal.
