Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup of sliced spring onions and 2 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes until the onions soften and the garlic is fragrant.
  2. Chop 4 medium all-purpose potatoes into small cubes and add them to the pot. Pour in 4 cups of vegetable stock, then sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together.
  3. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of full-fat sour cream. Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until it's smooth and creamy.
  5. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped spring onions, dollops of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.

Notes

Use all-purpose or floury potatoes for a creamier texture; avoid waxy potatoes. Ensure the spring onions and garlic are sautéed until fragrant for deeper flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
