Carrot, onion and potato creamy soup

I just love this creamy soup. It's incredibly easy to make and tastes so good. I hope you enjoy it too!

Ingredients

4 small carrots (or 3 medium sized)

1 medium sized onion

3 small potatoes

1 tablespoon of butter

2 cups of milk

1/2 liters of hot water

Grated cheese (optional)

Directions

Chop the onions and cook them with the butter in a deep pot. When they are translucent, chop the carrots and add them to the pot. Stir and cook for 5 minutes in medium heat.

Chop the potatoes and add them to the pot. Add also the hot water. Cook until the potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally.

Put everything in the blender, plus the two cups of milk, and blend until it's smooth.

Bring back to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tips: If you want it extra-tasty, instead of water, you can use vegetable broth. If you want it creamier, add a tablespoon of heavy cream. If you want it lighter, add more carrots and less potatoes. 

I like to serve this soup with a bit of grated cheese on top, and with a grilled cheese sandwich on the side. And more good news: the cost per portion (including the little sandwich) is approximately 1 euro.
