Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cilantro (fresh)
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.

Step 2

Heat a large pot over medium heat, then add the butter or ghee. Once melted, sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the garlic and ginger to the pot, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander, cooking for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them in the spice mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable stock, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, partially mash some of the potatoes in the soup to thicken the texture while leaving some chunks for a hearty feel.

Step 8

Add the milk to the pot and stir well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes without boiling.

Step 9

Remove the soup from heat, then stir in chopped cilantro and sliced green onions for a fresh, aromatic finish.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optional: garnish with a sprinkle of additional cilantro or a dollop of butter for extra richness.
