  • DIRECTIONS
    1. In a large pot heat olive oil, add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 6-7 minutes, until lightly golden.
    2. Pour in white wine and cook for 3-4 minutes, until alcohol evaporates (if you prefer not to use wine, skip this step).
    3. Pour in chicken/vegetable stock, add diced potatoes, season with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
    4. Turn the heat off and using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth.
    5. Add the cream and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Check the seasoning and if needed add more spices.
    6. Prepare the croutons: cut 3-4 bread slices into small chunks. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the bread and toast until golden.
    7. Pour the soup into a bowl, add some croutons and sprinkle some chopped parsley.
