How to Make Ara S Potato Oup

  1. Peel and dice 2 lbs russet potatoes. Chop 1 medium onion, 2 stalks celery, and 1 cup carrots.

  4. Once vegetables are tender, carefully pour the creamy mixture into the pot with the potatoes. Stir to combine.
  5. Add 1/2 cup instant potato flakes and stir until smooth. Heat on medium-low for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
