Gluten Free: Cream of Potato Soup


Cream of Potato Soup



2 cups potatoes, peeled, diced


¼ cup onions, chopped


½ tsp sea salt


2 tbsp potato starch or gluten free flour


3/8 cup chopped Brazil or macadamia nuts (3/8 cup = ¼


cup+ 2 tbsp)


1 tbsp butter


3 cups liquid (potato broth & water)



1. In medium-sized saucepan, cook potato, onion, and salt in a small amount of water until potatoes are almost done. Drain. Reserve liquid.


2. Combine potato starch, nuts, butter, and approximately ¼ cup of liquid in blender. Blend on highest speed for 1-2 minutes until well blended. Stop once or twice to scrape sides and bottom of blender jar. Add rest of the liquid and blend a few seconds longer.


3. Transfer nut milk mixture to the saucepan you used to cook the potatoes. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. I prefer to stir with a whisk to keep mixture smooth.


4. Add partially cooked potatoes and continue cooking until they are tender. Taste and add more salt if desired.



Yield: approximately 5 cups
