Golden Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Saute onion and celery in butter in a medium saucepan.
• Add carrot, potato and 3/4 cup water; bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat and simmer until potato is tender (about 15 minutes)
• Stir in milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring often.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water; stir into soup mixture.
• Cook and stir until thickened.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in cheese until melted.
• Sprinkle each serving with a pinch of paprika.

Steps:

• Halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse away any grit. Thinly slice the leeks crosswise. In a small square of cheesecloth, tie together bay leaves, thyme, sage, parsley and celery leaves if using.
• Melt the butter or heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
• Stir in stock or water, the sachet of herbs, the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce immediately to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and simmer soup until potatoes are very tender and falling apart, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, drizzle a small amount of cream into each bowl when serving, and top with parsley for garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Peal and cube the potatoes.
• Melt butter or olive oil (for a vegan recipe) in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leek; cook 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally (do not brown).
• Add potatoes, water, salt, broth, and 2 thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.
• Remove pan from heat; discard thyme sprigs. Partially mash potatoes with a potato masher; stir in cream (or sour cream or Tofu cream for a Vegan Recipe.) Sprinkle with black pepper.

Steps:

• In a large stock pot add potatoes, celery, onion, chicken bouillon, water and parsley flakes. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until vegetables become tender.
• In a separate bowl mix flour and milk. Once it is well blended, add to soup mixture and cook until soup becomes thick.
• Stir in cheese, cooked ham or hamburger and simmer until cheese is melted.
