Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 2 potatoes
- 1 onion
- 2 cups water
- 2-3 cups milk
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Some chicken stock
- Some corn flakes
Recipe 🍳
- Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible to shorten cooking time.
- Julienne the onion, put it in a pot, and stir-fry vigorously until it turns brown (caramelized) and starts to smoke.
- Add 2 cups of water to the caramelized onions, then add all the sliced potatoes.
- Cover the pot tightly and boil on high heat for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are completely mashed, creating an onion-potato soup base.
- When the potatoes are cooked, reduce the heat, pour in the milk, and before it foams up and boils over, blend smoothly with a hand blender.
- Simmer the blended soup for about 10 more minutes until thickened, then season with salt, pepper, and chicken stock to taste.
- Serve generously in a bowl and top with corn flakes for a classic Western-style diner feel.
- Add water to thinly sliced potatoes and stir-fried onions, cover, and boil for 15 minutes.
- Pour in milk, blend smoothly with a hand blender, then simmer on low heat for 10 more minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper, and chicken stock, then top with corn flakes and serve.
Cooking tips 💡
- If you boil milk from the start, it easily foams up and overflows everywhere, so it's more convenient to first cook the potatoes with water, then add the milk.
- Adding a little chicken stock adds a deep, rich umami flavor reminiscent of restaurant-style soup.
