Cilantro

Reduced-Fat
Sopa de Cilantro

by Amy Pace

Cream of cilantro soup is muy tasty but the traditional version is heavy on fat because of all that (wonderful) cream. My sopa uses potatoes as the thickening agent together with skim milk for a smooth consistency.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 medium onions, chopped

3 stalks celery, diced

3 medium potatoes, diced

32-oz box chicken broth or reduced sodium broth

1 small bunch fresh cilantro, rough chopped

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

1/4 cup skim or 1% milk

lime

hot sauce

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add onion and celery. Saute until soft and translucent. Add garlic and saute for a few more minutes.

Add potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to boil and boil for 5-7 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Reduce heat and add cilantro, cooking until cilantro is soft.

Transfer to a blender in small batches and blend until smooth or use imersion stick blender carefully to blend in pan.

Return to saucepan and cook covered for 5 minutes over medium heat until piping hot.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and stir in milk.

Serve in colorful bowls with a sprig of cilantro as a garnish and hot sauce and lime on the side.
