Ingredients
-
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/2 liter good vegetable stock (adjust to give preferred consistency) or 1/2 liter chicken stock (adjust to give preferred consistency)
-
1/2 liter milk
-
5 tablespoons chopped lovage (retain small amount for garnish)
-
salt & pepper
-
1 kg potato, scrubbed and cubed
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, saute the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent; then add the cubed potatoes and mix together.
- Add the stock and milk, simmering until the potatoes are nearly tender.
- When potatoes are soft,add the lovage and liquidise the soup, adding further stock or milk if a thinner consistency is required.
- Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Return to the saucepan and heat through gently - do NOT allow the soup to boil.
- Serve hot and garnish with the remaining lovage and crusty bread and butter or bread rolls.
- This travels very well in a thermos flask for a warming picnic soup.
