Instruction manual
1
The so-called vegetarian soup is prepared without any kind of meat. This soup is very light, well suited for followers of therapeutic or other diets. Another advantage is that it will take a little time to cook. For vegetable potato soup, take clean water. In general, any soup is better to boil in pre-settled or filtered water. Pour it into the pan and bring to a boil.
2
Chop the onion into small cubes, chop the carrots finely. They will go to the so-called roasting. Pour a little oil into the preheated pan and fry the onions and carrots in it for a short while. It is worth noting that different housewives use different fats for sautéing - it can be both vegetable and butter, and sometimes even fat removed from meat broth. But since you are cooking vegetarian potato soup, use regular vegetable oil.
3
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly, peel them and cut into strips. Gently pour potatoes into a pot of boiling water. When the water boils again, carefully remove the starchy foam that has formed from the potato and put the frying in the soup. It will immediately turn into a pleasant golden color. Salt the potato soup to taste.
4
Wash and chop the tomatoes. In order to peel them, scald the tomato with boiling water. When the potatoes in the soup are already ready, add the tomato to the broth.
5
Just before the soup is cooked, add spices. For potato soup, a few peas of black pepper, a couple of bay leaves will be quite appropriate.
6
Reduce the heat to a minimum and cook the soup under a closed lid until cooked, i.e. until the potatoes are soft.
7
When serving in a potato soup, you can put a spoonful of sour cream and stir it. The soup will get a lighter shade and a delicate taste. You can sprinkle fresh herbs in a plate.
