Sauté the Base

Simmer
  1. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add Creaminess
  1. Once the potatoes are cooked, reduce the heat again. Stir in the cup of milk, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to warm through, but do not let it boil.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve while hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, use freezer-safe containers for about 2 months. Reheat gently, adding extra broth or milk if necessary.
