How to Make Creamy Potato Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
1. Heat oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and diced celery. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
2. Add minced garlic and cook another 30 seconds.<\/li>\n
3. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh rosemary. Stir in vegetable broth, cubed russet potatoes, and a bay leaf. Increase heat to medium-high. When the soup comes to a boil, reduce to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork or knife, about 10 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf.<\/strong><\/li>\n
4. Turn off the heat and using an immersion blender,<\/a> <\/strong>puree the soup leaving half of the potato cubes intact. (Alternately you can also puree in a blender. Allow to cool slightly. Scoop out about half of the soup and pour into a blender. Process until smooth, returning to the saucepan with the un-pureed soup.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   We like russets because their starch content makes the liquid in the soup thicken quickly and become creamy. If not overcooked, the potatoes will hold their shape beautifully. Be sure that you don’t rapidly boil when cooking, but just simmer over medium-low heat.<\/p>\n

     We recently posted Joel’s favorite emerald herb oil,<\/a> which he uses in so many recipes. Well, this creamy potato soup was no exception. It’s true. As long as herb oil is in the fridge, watch out.<\/p>\n

     

     our favorite!<\/p><\/div>\n

     Well, the soup is sooooo delicious with cheddar shreds and green onions. However, the finishing swirl of emerald herb oil adds a whole new dimension of flavor! Wow!<\/p>\n

     And a drizzle of oil is an easy way to go from everyday to gourmet.<\/p>\n
