  • sour cream (for garnish)

Prepare

1. In a large stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat.

2. Add onion and cook until soft.

3. Add water, potatoes and garlic and bring to a boil. Simmer for 1 hour, partially covered.

4. Blend soup with an immersion blender.

5. Combine flour and milk in a separate bowl and blend until smooth. Add to soup.

6. Season and continue cooking, partially covered, for 5 minutes before serving.

Plate

This soup is great served with chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream.
