Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 stalks of celery, diced
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Directions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the potatoes and vegetables with the spices.
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, blend in batches and be careful not to overfill the blender with hot liquid.
- Return the soup to the pot and stir in the milk. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until heated through.
- Serve the spicy potato soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
