New Year Munchies

Happy New Year.

This being a new year and all, I took the time to post something new in my blog after a short absence. Since Maiks is sick, I let out the old druid in me and concocted a batch of potato soup for her, despite never having made the said brew.

Here's what I prepared:

Ingredients:
1 kilo marble potatoes
1 whole red bell pepper (diced)
2 bulbs green onion (diced)
some parsley
1 liter stock
salt n pepper (to taste)

1. Let the marble potatoes boil in water for about 20-30 mins (with skin)
2. Sautee onions and bell peppers together til onions turn light brown.
3. Let the stock boil on low heat while mixing in the onions and bell peppers.
4. let sit for about 5 mins then add the potatoes in the mix. ( some of the potato water may be added for volume)
5. Mash the potatoes while in the mix.
6. Transfer soup mix into a blender and puree.
7. Add parsley leaves for garnish and blend in.
8. Add salt and pepper to your liking.

No need to add cream or starch, as blended potatoes are thick enough. We had these with Bread Pan bites as croutons. Yummy.

I wasnt able to take a picture because we finished the soup before I wrote this entry.

Try it and let me know how yours goes.
