Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

   • Rinse and chop the spring onions (both the green and white parts). Peel and dice the potato.

2. Cook the Onions and Garlic:

   • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3. Add the Spring Onions and Potato:

   • Stir in the chopped spring onions and diced potato. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften.

4. Add Broth and Simmer:

   • Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Add the thyme (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

5. Blend the Soup:

   • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can blend it in batches using a regular blender. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

6. Finish with Cream (Optional):

   • If desired, stir in heavy cream or coconut milk for added creaminess. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

7. Serve and Garnish:

   • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or extra spring onions.
