Ingredients

  • 4 to 4.5 cups chopped spring onions
  • 1 potato (medium to large-sized, peeled and chopped in smaller pieces)
  • 1 or 2 garlic (small to medium-sized, peeled and chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon soy sauce (or add as required - optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon dry oregano (or preferred herb or a mix of various dried herbs)
  • 3 cups water (or Vegetable Stock)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder (or crushed black pepper, add as required)
  • salt (as required)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped spring onion greens (or parsley or coriander leaves (cilantro))

Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a pot or saucepan. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 10 to 12 seconds on low heat.
  2. Add the chopped spring onions and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes stirring often on a low heat.
  3. Now add the chopped potatoes and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and mix again.
  4. Pour water or vegetable stock. Mix again. Cover the pan or pot on a low to medium heat and simmer till the potatoes are cooked completely and tender.
  5. Let the soup cool down a bit. With a hand blender, blend the soup to a smooth and fine consistency. The soup will appear thick now.
  6. Add soy sauce (optional), oregano and keep the soup to simmer on low to medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes on until hot.
  7. If the soup appears too thick, then you can add about ¼ to ⅓ cup water or veg stock, while simmering the soup.
  8. Serve Spring Onion Soup hot, as is or topped with some croutons or garnished with some spring onion greens or parsley or coriander leaves.
