Easy Potato Soup Recipe
Wondering what to cook today? Here’s a recipe for a potato soup that’s incredibly simple to make without needing any broth. The key is just cooking the potatoes well! This warm and refreshing soup is perfect for pouring over rice, making it a hearty and comforting meal. It’s also great as a nutritious side dish or even for baby food.
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 3 cups water (approx. 600ml)
- 1 Tbsp tuna extract (or soy sauce for soup)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Small amount of green onion leaves
- Drizzle of sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the 2 potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Then, slice them evenly into about 0.5cm thick pieces. If the potato slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook, so slicing them thinly is important.
Step 2
Finely chop the green onion and set aside. Adding the green onion at the very end keeps its fresh flavor and crisp texture. Using the green leafy parts rather than the white stems will make the soup taste even more refreshing.
Step 3
Pour 3 cups of water (approx. 600ml) into a pot and add the prepared potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely tender. You can check if they’re done by piercing them with a chopstick; it should go in smoothly.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are cooked, add 1 tablespoon of tuna extract to flavor the soup. If you don’t have tuna extract, you can substitute it with soy sauce for soup. Season with salt to your preference. Be careful not to make it too salty.
Step 5
Finally, add the chopped green onions and simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes. Let the onion’s aroma gently infuse into the soup, then turn off the heat. Just before turning off the heat, drizzle a little sesame oil for an added nutty flavor, making it even more delicious. Serve hot!
