Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, dehydrated
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by rehydrating the dehydrated onion. Place the large dehydrated onion in a bowl and cover it with warm water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes until it softens. Once rehydrated, drain any excess water and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the rehydrated onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pot, stirring well to combine with the onions. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
- Sprinkle the teaspoon of paprika over the vegetables, stirring to coat them evenly. This will add a rich flavor and color to the soup.
- Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth, ensuring all the vegetables are submerged. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the soup to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
- After the vegetables are cooked through, taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Stir well to incorporate the seasoning.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the soup sit for a few minutes to cool slightly. This will enhance the flavors.
- Serve the Spanish Soup Dehy Onion hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful soup!
