making potato onion soup

 

    1. To make potato onion soup recipe | onion and potato soup | simple onion and potato soup with vegetable stock | Pregnancy-friendly Indian potato and onion soup | heat 1 tsp butter in a pressure cooker. Butter has a rich, creamy flavor. Butter has short chain fatty acids and medium chain fatty acids which are broken down and absorbed into the body directly and go straight to the liver and get converted to fuel to be used by the muscles. Due to this anti-inflammatory effect, it is said to have a positive effect in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). 
    2. Add 1/4 cup chopped onions. Onions have a mild, sweet flavor that complements the other vegetables in the soup. Onions add a soft, slightly chewy texture to the soup.  Raw onions are a very valuable source of vitamin C – the immune building vitamin. 
    3. Add 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun). Garlic has a strong and pungent flavor that adds depth and complexity to the soup. Garlic has been proven to lower cholesterol. The active ingredient allicin present in garlic aids in lowering blood pressure.
    4. Sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
    5. Add 1 cup potato cubes leaving the skin on. Potatoes have a mild, earthy flavor that complements the sweetness of onions. They also add a creamy texture to the soup that makes it more satisfying and filling. Potatoes contain starch, which helps to thicken the soup. This gives the soup a smooth and velvety texture.
    6. Sauté on a medium flame for 2 minutes.
    7. Add 2 cups vegetable stock. For better taste use vegetable stock or if in hurry then use stock cubes. Homemade vegetable stock has a neutral flavour and desirable consistency that make it very versatile. It adds exciting flavours and aroma to the dish it is added to.   
    8. Mix well.
    9. Pressure cook for 3 whistles.

    11. Let the mixture cool slightly, then use a hand blender to blend it until smooth. We're using a hand blender because of the large amount of liquid, but you could use a mixer if you prefer.   
    12. Blend it in a mixer to a smooth purée.
    13. Add 1/4 tsp dried mixed herbs.
    14. Add salt to taste. We added 1/4th tsp salt. Salt brings out natural flavours and makes foods more palatable. Too much of it can ruin the food and your health. So, use only the right amount. If you have high blood pressure, cut back on salt. 
    15. Add freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch) to taste.
    16. Mix well.
    17. Cook on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I never thought that potato could be made into a soup. It has a creamy texture and onions add a flavor to the otherwise bland potato. Carrots serve as a great garnish.
