Instructions

Heat olive oil in a pot or saucepan. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 10 to 12 seconds on low heat.
Add the chopped spring onions and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes stirring often on a low heat.
Now add the chopped potatoes and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and mix again.
Pour water or vegetable stock. Mix again. Cover the pan or pot on a low to medium heat and simmer till the potatoes are cooked completely and tender.
Let the soup cool down a bit. With a hand blender, blend the soup to a smooth and fine consistency. The soup will appear thick now.
Add soy sauce (optional), oregano and keep the soup to simmer on low to medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes on until hot.
If the soup appears too thick, then you can add about ¼ to ⅓ cup water or veg stock, while simmering the soup.
Serve Spring Onion Soup hot, as is or topped with some croutons or garnished with some spring onion greens or parsley or coriander leaves.

Notes

Use spring onions that are fresh, tender and green. Do not use green onions whose leaves are wilted or dried.
Easily add your choice of herbs and spices to the soup. Though black pepper is the classic choice of spice in soups like these, you can easily add a bit of cayenne pepper or red chilli powder.
For garnish spring onion greens or parsley as well as coriander leaves (cilantro) work well.
The soup serves 2 servings and you can easily double this recipe to increase the servings.
