I desire potato soup like you would NOT believe. Potato soup takes so long to make, tho.. a price to pay for having several days' worth of what is essentially the "nectar of the gods" to me.

the air fryer was the worst thing that could have happened to me, I used to love cooking and baking but covid killed my appetite so I stopped and now I have even less motivation to cook, I just snack throughout the day this has to stoppll

I hope that you are recovering well mute. I know at times it might not seem like it but you have a lot of people that care about you.
Hope you feel better. If I could make you homemade soup I would, get better soon. And make sure you get plenty of bed rest don’t want you pulling any stitches or having to go back to the hospital.
I can sit up now (sorta) and am allowed to now walk to the front door and back on my own (gotta get my body to not hate me lmao)
And i know thank you, lovely :)♡
I am able to stay awake longer than a few hours at a time now too since my meds are getting spaced out further and further and my body isn't as shakey but alas my art isnt on the up and ups yet woop

Potato soup for the heart pls if you have time to sit near a pot try this i promise its good even if you arent an irish peasant
i think i just fell in love with myself over the potato soup i made
and i only just had a lil sip to see if anything is missing. So im sharing, if just for safekeeping
Also this may seem like a lot of work but I have been doing this while simultaneously studying, so im kinda just sitting near the stove to make sure nothing boils over. But also it shouldnt since i never used more them medium heat.
1: Prepare Broth! i had about half a celery (the big round ones) and like 5 carrots (give and take 300g maybe?) as well as one onion (not a big vegetable one but a regular, white onion) and Rosemary
Rosemary is my lover, she is in this with me together and without her i wouldnt be who i am as a person
i have a pot of fresh rosemary in my kitchen and i will never ever live without her ever again
i let the broth simmer all throughout the day yesterday and then kept it in the stove over night. The stove was off during the night tho, so like more of a cold tea approach after simmering for a couple hours prior
2: Boiling the potatos. Now you can just peel a bunch of potatos and toss them in some water. (I didnt measure or even count how many potatos i used. Just go with your heart.) And you will probably be fine. But! consider this: add a bit of salt, a teaspoon of instant broth (or some of the prepared one if you have enough) and Rosemary. I love her, still.
Also i let them boil for a couple hours as well, on low heat because a) i need to mash them and the longer i boil them, the easier it is to mash them. And b) this way the potatos and the water really take in the flavour of the broth and rosemary.
after the potatos are done, i took some of the water they were boiling in and got rid of the rest.
3: Mash. just mash the potatos. should be easy enough if they boiled for long enough. Once they are mashed, add the water you took off of them beforehand.
Also, add in broth, so you get a pretty soupy consistency and mix it all together.
4: Soup. Technically you have soup now. I added some more chopped carrots, cause carrots and potatos are lovers and i could never seperate them. Also added some Wiener Würstchen, which you really dont need. I just always have them in my potato soup and im nothing if not a creature of Habit. You can also add more Rosemary, if you want. I didnt, for now. Also add some milk and butter. It makes the colour less grey-sludgy and more pale yellow. Also, butter is good for the heart (probably not) (it is if you love yourself tho) (if you're vegan this is the only part where you may need substitutes, margarine and oat should work fine, since its mostly for consistency and colour).
Now let it simmer a bit longer, that way it thickens up a little.
Also here you may taste to see if you need more salt, or smth. I added a bit of pepper but nothing else.
It is right inbetween the perfect potato soup my mom makes and lovingly prepared rosemary ovenpotatos. I think this is a love potion. If you are german and really love potatos, because you lived close to your grandma who is a little old fashion when it comes to food and makes potatos to just about everything. Honestly i would marry whoever makes me a good potatosoup without question.
Extra: if youre feeling spicy, you can add currypowder, masala powder or even chili powder to it. Since its mostly potato and also already has milk (or similar) in it it can take quite a bit of spice without killing you. Believe me, i am white and have yet to die of Spicy Potato Soup.
If youre feeling under the weather or anything, just make this. Probably definetly the perfect food for Fall and Winter, but honestly i would eat it all year round.
Its a hug in soup form. Which is not saying a lot since all soup is just liquid hugs.
I really like soup. And rosemary.
