Ingredients
  

Base ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 chopped onion

  • 1 cup milk or cream optional for creaminess

Method
 

Sauté the Vegetables
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Simmer Away
  1. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  2. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Finishing Touches
  1. For a creamier texture, stir in milk or cream if desired, allowing it to heat through.
  2. Adjust the seasoning to your preference and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to swap out fresh vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently, adding a splash of broth if too thick.
