I was concerned that this soup would be bland, given the paucity of ingredients. How wrong I was!
I did make a few substitutions, using what I had in the house.
- I used 1/2 fingerling potatoes and 1/2 sweet potatoes, cooking the sweet potatoes 10 minutes before adding the fingerlings because the sweets were much harder - The recipe doesn't specify to peel the potatoes, but you should - I used more than one sprig of rosemary, since mine were dried - Used both leeks and kale, since I had them. The leeks added flavor, the kale added nice texture. - I added a little bit of vegetable soup concentrate, since I was concerned about blandness, but I don't think it really was necessary - Used a hand masher to roughly mash the cooked potatoes before adding other ingredients to the pot - I added a splash of soy milk after cooking, for some creaminess
This recipe was so easy, it would be hard to mess up.
