Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Potato Soup.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large stockpot and melting some margarine over medium heat.
Step 2
As the margarine begins to sizzle, toss in your chopped onion and sauté it until it turns soft and translucent, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 3
Next, pour in the chicken broth and add in the chopped potatoes, celery tops, and carrot pieces.
Step 4
Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and a dash of white pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Bring this vibrant mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and cover the pot, allowing it to simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes until the vegetables are tender and inviting.
Step 6
Once they’re perfectly cooked, carefully remove the celery tops and carrot pieces, discarding them to keep your soup smooth.
Step 7
Now, stir in the creamy evaporated milk, warming the soup gently without letting it boil—this step adds a lovely richness to your dish.
Step 8
For the grand finale, use a food processor or blender to purée the soup in small batches until it’s silky smooth.
Step 9
Return the puréed goodness to the stockpot, keeping it on low heat until you’re ready to serve.
Step 10
Enjoy the comforting warmth of this delicious soup, perfect for any occasion!.
