Ingredients
- 1 cup green olives, pitted and chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including green olives, peeled and diced potatoes, chopped onion, and vegetable broth.
- Simmer Ingredients: In a large pot, combine the potatoes, onion, green olives, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Blend Soup: Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender. Blend until the soup is smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Return the soup to the pot if needed and heat gently before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
- If the soup is too thick, add more vegetable broth to reach desired consistency.
- Use low sodium vegetable broth to control salt levels, as olives can be salty.
- Ensure olives are pitted before use to avoid any bitterness or choking hazard.
