Equipment
- 1 soup pot
- 1 air fryer for the croutons
Ingredients
- 5 potatoes
- 2 carrots
- 1 onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black peper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tbsp chicken bouillon
- cilantro or parsley to garnish
For the Croutons
- 4 slices white bread
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp dry oregano
Instructions
- Prep all your ingredients first. Peals the potatoes, and watch them all with plenty of water. Leave the skin on the carrots for more nutrients.
- Cut the potatoes and onion into small dice, and grate the carrots. The smaller, the better texture your soup will have
- Set a pot over medium high on the stove. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, and once it’s hot, add the onions.
- Wait until the onions are golden brown to add the 2 tablespoons of butter. I like to mix butter and oil so the butter doesn’t burn down and the onions cook all the way through.
- Add the potatoes and carrots and mix well. Let the ingredients soak for a couple of minutes together.
- add 4 cups of water, and season with the salt, pepper, paprika and chicken bouillon.
- Reduce to heat to medium-low close, close the lid and let everything cook until the potatoes are tender but firm.
- Preprare the slury. In a bowl, add to a cup of cold milk 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk until they are well combined.
- Once the potatoes are soft, remove the pot from the heat and pour the milk and flour slurry and stir to incorporate.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
