Quick Potato Onion Soup
Super Speedy Potato Onion Soup in a Ramen Pot – A 5-Minute Wonder
Introducing a potato and onion soup recipe that’s as quick to make as cooking ramen! It’s a refreshing and mild soup perfect for busy mornings or evenings when you need a fast, delicious meal.
Main Ingredients- 1 medium potato
- 1 small onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and prepare the potato and onion. Slice the potato thinly, about 2-3mm thick. If you have a large potato, cutting it in half before slicing will help it cook faster. Similarly, slice the onion thinly to about 2-3mm thickness. If the onion is large, you can use just half. Tip: If you keep pre-minced green onions frozen, it’s convenient to use them when needed. Getting into the habit of pre-chopping green onions makes cooking much easier.
Step 2
Add the thinly sliced potato and onion to your ramen pot. Next, add 1 tablespoon of dried anchovy powder for broth, 2 thinly sliced red chili peppers, 2 thinly sliced green chili peppers, and 0.5 tablespoon of soy sauce for soup. Pour in 400ml of water. (If you know that one cup is about 250ml, think of it as one cup plus a little less than half a cup.) Tip: Potatoes absorb water, so it’s good to add a bit more water than you would for a typical soup. You can also use 1/4 tablespoon of salt instead of soy sauce for a savory flavor.
Step 3
Now, set your ramen pot to the highest heat setting and bring it to a boil with the lid open. Once the soup is bubbling vigorously, maintain the high heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes with the lid still off. (Tip: Many ramen pots are designed to automatically shut off after 2 minutes if the lid is closed, so it’s important to keep the lid open while boiling.)
Step 4
After simmering with the lid open for 5 minutes, you can then place the lid on slightly ajar. This helps prevent the soup from reducing too much while still allowing it to simmer gently.
Step 5
Finally, add the pre-minced green onions and simmer for just 1 more minute. Just before turning off the heat, you can add about 1/4 tablespoon of sesame oil for an extra nutty aroma, if you like. Adding sesame oil will enhance the overall flavor.
Step 6
Your warm and delicious potato onion soup is ready! Since you cooked it in a ramen pot, there’s less cleanup, and it’s incredibly easy to make. It’s the kind of soup you’ll want to have every day. Enjoy your meal!
