Quick and Easy Potato Soup

Potatoes can be microwaved, boiled, steamed, or even baked beforehand, but microwaving is quickest.

Ingredients

• 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes cooked and peeled, if desired
• 1/2 small onion
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/4 teaspoon rosemary
• 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon white pepper using more will make it spicy
• 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
• 1 tablespoon raw cashews or 1/2 tbsp. cashew butter optional
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 1 1/2 cups low-fat soymilk or other non-dairy milk

Instructions

1. High-Powered Blender Users: Place two of the potatoes along with the remaining ingredients into the blender in the order given. Start machine on low speed and increase to highest setting. Blend for about 4 minutes, until steaming hot. Dice remaining potato and divide it among 4 bowls. Pour the soup over the potatoes and serve hot.
2. Regular Blender/Stovetop Users: Chop the onion and sauté it until soft in a medium-sized saucepan. Cut the potatoes into cubes and add 2/3 of them to the pan, along with the broth, rosemary, white pepper, and salt. Simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes.
