Creamy Potato Soup

Creamy Potato Soup

Posted 2015-05-17 by Jac's Vegheadfollow


To make this potato soup creamy I have swapped cream for silken tofu. Tofu adds all of the creamy goodness with none of the fat and extra calories, it also adds a great hit of protein!

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
6 potatoes
1 packet tofu
3 cups water
2 tsp stock
1& #8260 ;4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 fresh chives
1& #8260 ;2 teaspoon black pepper

Parmesan and crusty bread to serve.

Method
  • In a saucepan, cook the chopped onions and garlic in butter, oil or water until soft.



  • Add the diced potatoes, stock, parsley, chives and pepper to the saucepan.



  • Add in the water and simmer for 15 minutes.

  • Add the tofu then puree the soup. This soup can be quite thick so add water as needed.



  • Serve with bread and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese for a soup that is warm, comforting and has flavours of a baked potato.
