Potato Soup
6 medium red or white potatoes, cut up
4 green onions, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
2 celery sticks, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
about a third of a head of broccoli, chopped
a handful of chopped fresh cilantro
salt, pepper and garlic powder (to taste)
sour cream
Boil the potatoes (I leave the skins on) in water for about 30
minutes, or until they are falling apart. Add or pour out water
until it is around 3 cm above the potatoes. Mash them in their
cooking water, but don't be too thorough about it. Add the green
onions, carrots, celery, pepper, broccoli, salt, pepper and garlic.
Simmer without a cover for about 25 minutes or until the carrots
are tender. The starch from the potatoes should thicken the soup.
Remove from heat. Add the cilantro. I serve it with sour cream
on the side: some people prefer it with sour cream, but I like it
plain.
