Old Fashioned Lovage And Potato Soup
A family favourite in our household.....a creamy and easy soup which needs nothing more than good crusty rolls or home-baked bread to serve with it. This travels well in a thermos flask making it an ideal and comforting soup to take on a picnic. This recipe is based on a historical 16th/17th century recipe, no milk was added then - it was made with stock only.
Steps
In a large saucepan , saute the chopped onion in olive oil until translucent.
Then add the cubed potatoes and mix together.
Add the stock and milk , simmering until the potatoes are nearly tender.
When potatoes are soft , add the lovage and liquidise the soup , adding further stock or milk if a thinner consistency is required.
Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
Return to the saucepan and heat through gently - do not allow the soup to boil.
Serve hot and garnish with the remaining lovage and crusty bread and butter or bread rolls.
This travels very well in a thermos flask for a warming picnic soup.
