Creamy Vegetarian Onion and Potato Soup
Happy Sunday, Soupers! No big plans today. Just kicking back and enjoying this creamy vegetarian Potato and Onion soup … so good!
This recipe is very similar to a soup we make, Creamy Garlic and Potato soup. What we loved most is that it’s a pretty quick meal to make and you probably already have all the ingredients on hand anyway. So go ahead and try it for yourself!
Ingredients
5 small potatoes peeled and cubed
1 red onion
1 leek
1 shallot (raw), chopped
1 garlic cloves, chopped
4 yellow onions, chopped
1 green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon spicy paprika
5 cup(s) vegetarian stock
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Pinch salt and pepper to taste
1 cup, 2 % milk (soy, almond, rice or skim as alternatives work fine)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon, crème fraîche or fresh cream
1 squeeze lemon
