Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-bottomed Pan for making the soup
  • 1 skillet for roasting gram flour

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Besan gram flour
  • 1 large Onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup Potato finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped or minced
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt as per taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash all the vegetables under tap and chop them in small pieces.
    Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. In the meanwhile, Roast the gram flour in another pan and add it to the cooked potatoes. You may roast the flour in a little oil (although it's not mandatory).
  • Add roasted gram flour and cook for one min on slow flame. Add water until the potatoes are just covered. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
    Allow the soup to cook on medium-low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
  • Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. For a creamier texture, you can blend a portion of the soup using an immersion blender. Serve the delicious Potato and Onion Soup with cheddar cheese and toasted bread!

Notes

  • Roasting gram flour in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding it to the soup enhances its nutty flavor and eliminates any raw taste. If you are using APF, you need not roast it.
  • If you are Making it Ahead of time, the soup might thicken up in the storage. Make sure to add water or broth to reheat it using a stovetop.
