How to Make Portuguese Potato And Cilantro Soup

  1. Finely chop 1 large onion and 2 cloves garlic. In a large saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in 3 tablespoons of olive oil for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add 2 pounds of potatoes (peeled and cubed) and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  2. Pour in 6 cups of vegetable or chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender and easily mashed.
  3. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until completely smooth.
  4. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan. Season generously with salt (to taste) and a pinch of cayenne pepper (or more, to your preference). Stir in 1 cup of freshly chopped cilantro.
  5. Serve the soup immediately while warm, or chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for a refreshing cold soup. If reheating, gently simmer until heated through.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or chives before serving.
