This easy Cream of Potato Soup warms your heart perfectly on chilly days. Simple yet flavourful and comforting. Super creamy without cream, so it's lighter and healthier.
Is it cold in your area too? Although I feel more like a summer person, there are reasons why I love winter too. For one thing, I have comforting soups like this Cream of Potato Soup often, even for lunch or dinner on its own. Believe it or not, soups make one of my favorite breakfast foods as well when it is cold in the early morning. Another reason is I bake more during winter months, which you already know.
Obviously I cook a lot of soup. The colder the weather, the warmer our kitchen thanks to the soup simmering on the stove. Mostly a simple Turkish Lentil Soup because it requires no effort at all. Tomato Rice Chicken Soup when we plan to have it as dinner on its own. We do have a flavorsome smooth soup as well, like this Cream of Potato Soup or Cream of Broccoli Soup. I love them all.
What makes a soup comforting and tasty? Besides the ingredients we use to make a soup, I think the topping is equally important. Isn't it great that you can make your own creations on your soup. Chopped green onions, fresh spinach leaves, simit croutons and aged-beef are on my cream of potato soup today. What to use to garnish your soup is totally up to you, but I must tell you that mine makes a perfect combination of flavors in the soup.
We sometimes love it with a little chopped fresh dill or another herb and ground black pepper. Make sure you squeeze lemon in your bowl if you love your soup tangy.
Note: We made this potato soup today with an addition of stock, so we added 3 cups water and 2 cups chicken stock. It was absolutely tasty and warming! Try it with stock to have a more flavourful and warming potato soup!

Nice simple recipe Zerrin. I will try this. And I love that not round bowl. When I first saw the top picture I thought maybe I needed my eyes examined!
Zerrin says
Oh yes, I love that bowl, too. It is a bit confusing at first sight, isn't it?
