1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (or to taste)
4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp minced Ginger root
1 large Red onion (chopped)

1. Add all the ingredients in a pot with excess water and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover with lid and turn heat down to low - cook for about 40 minutes.

2. Check the tenderness of potatoes with a fork. Once potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, take the pot off heat and blend all ingredients with an immersion blender/hand blender until creamy.

3. Once creamy, place pot back onto the stove and heat over medium high heat for another 5 minutes.

4. To serve, scoop soup with a ladle into 4 individual bowls. Garnish with light sour cream (1 Tbsp. for each bowl).
