Potato, garlic soup

I came across to this simple soup recipe in "500 soups" book.  Easy, lovely soup to eat before the main course :)

You will need:

Sunflower oil : 2 tables spoons

Garlic : 6 cloves

Onion : 1

Potato : 2-3 

Veggie Knorr cubes :4 (or chicken broth: 8dl)

Milk: 4dl

Lemon juice : 2-3 table spoons

"Food" creme: 

Parsley: 1 bunch

Let's make magic happen:

1. Peel onion and garlics, wash them and grind them. Meanwhile, heat oil in the pan and dump onion and garlics there in medium heat. Mix them gently once in  a while so they get softer and slightly orange.

                             

2. Peel potatoes, wash and cut them in small cubes (approximately 1 cm x1 cm). It's better to chop them small, so they get cooked faster and it will be easier to mash them afterwards. Dump potatoes and knorr cubes (or chicken brother) into the pan. If you add knorr cubes then add 8dl of water into the pan and let them get cooked for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are quite soft. Meanwhile add salt and pepper into the pan. I add salt in the beginning, because if we add it at the end, food will become salty and not quite tasty :)

3. When potatoes are ready soup should look similar to the photo below. Take pan away from the stove. Mash potatoes until they become all mashed and puree-like. You can first get potatoes out of soup as it will be easier to mash them this way (that how i did :) and then dump them back to the pan.

4. As soon as you dumped mashed potatoes to the soup put the pan again on the hot spot of the stove. Add milk and let it remain there for 5-10 minutes. Occasionally stirr soup. Add half of the lemon into the soup. Take pan away from the hot stove. 

5. Add some creme to the soup in your plate. Sprinkle chopped parcley on top of it. Enjoy! :)
