Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch garlic scapes, chopped (about 10–12 scapes)
4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup heavy cream (or dairy-free alternative like coconut cream or oat milk)
Optional: fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5–7 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and garlic scapes; sauté for 2 minutes.
Cook potatoes: Add diced potatoes, broth, water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are soft.
Blend: Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Alternatively, cool slightly and blend in batches in a countertop blender. Add extra water or broth if needed to adjust consistency.
Finish: Return blended soup to pot. Stir in cream or dairy-free substitute. Heat through, taste, and adjust seasoning.
Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve hot with crusty bread or a light salad.
Notes
Garlic scapes add a unique, mild garlic flavor without being overpowering.
For vegan soup, use coconut milk or oat cream, and add nutritional yeast for richness.
Add herbs like thyme or rosemary while simmering for deeper flavor.
Red pepper flakes or jalapeño add a spicy kick.
