INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon García de la Cruz Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

  • Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  • Add the peeled and diced potatoes to the pot, along with the vegetable broth and the sprig of fresh thyme.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked through, remove the pot from the heat. Discard the sprig of thyme.
  • Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a blender in batches, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
  • Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced Garlic Stuffed Olives.
