Slow-Simmered Goodness
Cooking this soup on low heat lets the flavors slowly come together, making each bite rich and tasty. The beaten egg gives it a smooth texture, adding a little something extra to this humble soup.
Tips
-
Cube the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate. This way, you won't end up with some pieces undercooked and others mushy, giving you a nice, consistent texture in the soup.
- Chop the onion finely for even cooking, which helps release moisture and flavor, making the soup richer and smoother.
- Simmer gently after adding the garlic to avoid overcooking the delicate flavors.
- Turn down the heat once the potatoes are cooked to avoid overcooking when adding the pressed garlic.
- Whisk the egg in slowly to prevent it from curdling, creating a smoother texture.
Storage
- Refrigeration: Allow the soup to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until steaming.
- Freezing: If you want to keep it longer, freeze the soup in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months.
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
