Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 Medium Potatoes cubed
- 1/3 Cup Heavy cream
- 3 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
Vegetables
- 7 Garlic cloves Sliced
- 1 Celery stalks Chopped
- 1 Medium Onion Sliced
- 1/2 Green Chili Sliced
- 3 Bay leaves
Condiments
- 1 tsp Nutmeg

- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Chicken stock cube ( Dissolved in ½ cup water)
Garnish
- Fresh Parsley finely chopped
- Beef salami toasted and roughly chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the Pot: Preheat a pot on medium-low heat. Drizzle the olive oil, then add the sliced onion and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes. Make sure that the onions are clear and not browned or burnt.
- Add spices and other ingredients: Add celery and green chili and cook for another 1 minute while stirring. Add ½ cup water and chicken stock to the pot. Also, add bay leaves, paprika powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to mix and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add water: Add 3 cups of water and the potato. The potatoes must be completely submerged in the water. Cover the lid and cook for 15 minutes (while boiling) on medium-high heat.
- Let it cool: When the cooking is done, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes. Once the soup has cooled, add the heavy cream and blend the entire soup with an immersion mixer. Garnish with beef salami, grated cheddar cheese, and fresh chopped parsley to serve.
