Creamy Potato Soup
This is a lovely smooth and creamy soup that tastes fantastic with toasted bread or croutons. If you are a potato-fan, you’re going to love this simple and easy to make, delicious soup!
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 onion or leek peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 1 ½ cups milk add more for thinner soup
- salt to taste
- white pepper to taste
- juice of half a lemon or less according to your taste
Instructions
- Put the potatoes and onions in a pan and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender. If any water remains, drain it out, then add the milk and sour cream, salt and pepper into the cooked potato/onions. Put these in a blender or processor and blend until smooth and creamy.Pour the soup back into your pan and bring to a light simmer until it thickens. Adjust salt and pepper, and once the thickness is to your satisfaction, add the lemon juice, stir and turn off the heat. Serve hot, garnished with chives or the green part of spring onions and/or croutons. Enjoy!

W/Salaam, you can use thick fresh yoghurt mixed with a bit of cooking or whipping cream.
This is lovely hop it taste good
Can you please tell the exact quantity of salt and pepper ?
Hard to tell as that depends on personal taste. About half a tsp of each and then taste and adjust.
What is sour cream ?
A type of thick cream, resembles yoghurt but is much creamier and tastier.
Where can we get sour cream easily from and by which name or brand if u can recommend any?
You should be able to get it at any major supermarkets in your country, in the dairy isle next to the creams.
