Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized (about 600g) potatoes
- 1 medium-sized onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup (optional, for thinning) water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Set aside.
Step 2
Finely chop the onion and garlic.
Step 3
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the ground cumin and paprika to the pot, stirring for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Step 5
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and stir to coat with the spices.
Step 6
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and blend it in batches using a standard blender.
Step 8
Once blended, stir in the plain yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. If the soup is too thick, add up to 1 cup of water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 9
Return the pot to low heat and warm the soup gently, ensuring it does not boil to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 11
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped dill. Serve warm with crusty bread or a side salad.
