Ingredients:
- 4 potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 1/2 celery stalk
- 1 onion
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
Instructions:
-
In a large saucepan, combine diced potatoes, sliced carrot, chopped celery, diced onion, vegetable broth, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the mixture simmer until the potatoes are just tender. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes.
-
Once the potatoes are cooked, do not rinse the mixture; instead, mash it slightly using a potato masher or the back of a spoon.
-
Stir in the milk until well combined, ensuring a creamy texture throughout.
-
In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, dried parsley, and ground black pepper, blending them together to form a smooth paste.
-
Add the butter-flour mixture to the potato mixture in the saucepan, stirring constantly over medium heat until the soup thickens and becomes bubbly. This typically takes about 5-7 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually add the shredded Swiss cheese, stirring until the cheese is almost completely melted and incorporated into the soup.
-
Allow the soup to stand for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
