I have to thank my family for inspiring this Italian Potato Soup. As a child, my grandmother would make a version of this soup that was as comforting as a hug. It was one of my favorite dishes growing up. As I got older, I began to experiment with the ingredients and flavors to make it my own. I’m proud to share this recipe with you today!
This Italian Potato Soup is a great way to enjoy a comforting meal without spending a lot of time in the kitchen. The combination of potatoes, carrots, celery, and herbs gives this soup a delicious flavor that is sure to become a family favorite. Plus, it’s a great way to use up leftover vegetables and pantry staples.
This soup is not only easy to make, it’s also healthy. I used broth to keep the sodium content low and added a few splashes of olive oil to give it a boost of flavor. The vegetables give the soup a boost of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. And, if you’re looking for a vegan version, you can easily substitute vegetable broth and omit the cheese.
I hope you enjoy this comforting, healthy Italian Potato Soup as much as my family and I do!
- If you’re looking for a vegan version, substitute vegetable broth and omit the cheese.
