Potato Soup

"One of the things I love about this recipe is it comes together so easily and tastes like you worked all afternoon making it happen. After peeling and dicing the potatoes, cover them with water, add a bit of salt and simmer for 15 minutes. While that’s happening, prep the other ingredients. Once the potatoes are done, you’ll be ready to add them to your soup pot and dinner will be ready to dish up 5 minutes later. Another key to this soup uses one of my favorite kitchen tools, an immersion blender. I like my soup creamy and using an immersion blender creates a smooth texture. Plus, you don’t have to mess with transferring it to a blender and then back to the soup pot. Just use the immersion blender right in your pot. If you’re using a non-stick pot, be sure to not let the immersion blender touch the bottom of the pot or it could ruin the non-stick surface."
