2-Ingredient Potato Soup

2-Ingredient Potato Soup

 

This two-ingredient soup from Earth To Table might seem plain, but trust me, after 30 years of cooking, I know how to make vegetables come to life! This soup is cost-effective, quick to make and kind on the digestive system, making you feel warm and satisfied after eating it.

Packed with nutrients from the potatoes, which are rich in B vitamins, fibre and potassium, which is a mineral that helps support cardiovascular health. Pair this with my Irish Soda Spelt Bread, from Earth To Table, and have the ultimate healthy comfort food meal!

1 onion, finely sliced

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or butter
