Ingredients

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Start by washing and chopping the mint leaves finely. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Peel and cube the potato.

Step 2: Sauté the Base

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent and aromatic.

Step 3: Cook the Potatoes

Add the cubed potato to the pot and stir well to coat with the oil and flavors.

Step 4: Simmer the Soup

Pour in chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and allow it to simmer gently for 20 minutes. Use a cooking timer to track the time.

Step 5: Blend to Perfection

After the potatoes have softened, puree the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the chopped mint and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Step 6: Final Seasoning

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Add a swirl of cream for richness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Menta Sopa hot, accompanied by crusty bread or fresh salad. Garnish with a sprig of mint for added flair. This soup pairs wonderfully with a light white wine, making it perfect for a refreshing meal.
