Irish Potato Soup
After what we can call a... relaxed summer... I am back at trying new recipes, focusing on my calories, cutting back on my favourite beverage (wine!) and getting myself back into regular scheduled life programming. So, with that, trying some new recipes to mix things up in our day to day.
Since the weather has been unseasonably cool the last couple weeks, this was my first try at Irish Potato Soup!
Ingredients:
- 4 large white potatoes, quartered
- One medium sized white onion
- Enough water to just cover the potatoes and onion
- 1 cup of (Epicure) Chicken Bouillon (you can also use chicken broth or vegetable broth)
- 3 TBPS (Epicure) 3 Onion Mix (you can sub in Lipton Dry Onion Soup, not prepared)
- Black pepper and salt to taste.
Directions:
Quarter potatoes, chop onion. Place in pot with just enough water to cover the ingredients. Let boil until potatoes are soft. Once cooked through, place the contents of the pot (including water) into a food processor or blender. Once pureed, return to the pot and bring to a simmer. Add salt, pepper and bouillon/broth and onion mixture. Serve!
Calories: 111 calories per cup (makes 11 cups of soup.) This also is a very low sodium since the bouillon I use barely has any in it.
Note: Here is a link to the original recipe. I changed it up. I doubled the potato and halved the onion. I didn't use butter. Onion has a tendency to upset my stomach if I have too much of it. So, when I cook with it, I always use half. Here is the recipe:
