Quickie Vegan Paprika Potato Soup Recipe

This recipe is a bit similar to tomato soup. For the tomato taste, you can either use tomato ketchup or canned tomato paste. Tomato ketchup normally has sugar added in to it but canned tomato paste does not. Therefore it you use canned tomato paste; you will need to balance the sour taste with a little sugar.
I used paprika to spice up the soup a little and it resulted in a totally new flavours! I love the aroma of toasted bell peppers, which is actually the ingredient used to make paprika. I have also added garlic to this dish but it you do not take garlic, it is ok to exclude it. For the creamy taste, you can use either cream or vegan cheese. If you like the soup to be smooth and without any chunky ingredients in it, then you can blend it. Feel free to add vegetable like celery or lettuce for additional flavour and fibres!

Ingredients
Potato, 1 pc, cut into cubes
Tomato, 1 pc, minced
Tomato Ketchup, 10 table spoons (or one small can of tomato paste, add a little sugar)

Corn, ½ cup
Garlic (optional), 2 cloves, minced
Olive oil, 2 table spoons
Water, 2 rice bowls

Thyme (dried), ½ teaspoon
Pepper, a dash
Soya sauce (optional), 1 teaspoon

Put water into a pot and bring to a boil. Add in the ingredients. Lower down the heat and let it boil for around 20 minutes. Serve with toast or crackers!

Vegetarian Potato with Thyme and Tomato Recipe – Hailam Style

I used Hailam style (a Chinese Clan) chicken chop gravy for this potato recipe. I could not use Worcestershire sauce because it is non vegetarian therefore I just have to use a little vinegar and Chinese soya sauce as substitutes.

Bbq sauce, 1 tablespoon
Corn flour mix with little water to thicken gravy

Simple Recipe – Vegan Soya Sauce Potato - Halal

Simple and delicious

I think you must have heard before that potatoes with eyes (sprouts) are poisonous as it contains Solanine (very toxic even in small quantities). Anyway, you just have to remove these sprouts. Better throw away the potato if it has turned bad, green underneath the skin and has too many sprouts. Although some research has shown that you have to eat at least a whole bag of potatoes to actually be poisoned but it is better to practice some caution. Better be safe than sorry!
