How to cook Potato soup with egg

Step 1

Cut the onion and carrot into small cubes.

Step 2

Heat a frying pan with vegetable oil. Fry the onion and carrot for 2-3 minutes until golden and aromatic.

Step 3

Pour water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cut the potatoes into slices. Put the potatoes in boiling salted water and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the fried onions and carrots to the potatoes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, break the egg into a bowl and beat with a whisk or fork until smooth.

Step 5

Then pour the egg into the soup in a thin stream, stirring constantly.

Step 8

Pour the soup into serving bowls, garnish with finely chopped dill and serve.

Potato soup with egg - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I make this potato soup without eggs?

Yes, absolutely. The egg helps thicken the soup slightly and adds flavor, but you can simply omit it. The soup will still be delicious. Just follow the rest of the steps as written.

How should I store leftover potato soup and how long will it last?

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, do so gently on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the soup has thickened too much.

Can I freeze this potato soup?

Yes, this soup freezes quite well. However, be aware that the texture of the potatoes may change slightly, becoming a bit softer upon thawing. Cool the soup completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container, leaving some headspace for expansion. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

What can I serve with this soup?

This soup is quite hearty on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a slice of crusty bread or some simple sandwiches for a more complete meal. A light, crisp salad on the side can also provide a nice contrast to the creamy soup.

Can I use something other than dill for garnish?

Of course! While dill is a classic pairing with potatoes, feel free to use other fresh herbs you have on hand. Fresh parsley, chives, or even a little fresh thyme would work beautifully. A sprinkle of paprika or a drizzle of olive oil can also add a nice finishing touch.
