Cooking method

Cooking time: 25 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    For this recipe I used two large potatoes; if your potatoes are smaller, use three. Peel the potatoes, cut them into large pieces, and rinse well. There's no need to chop them finely, since we'll blend everything anyway. I cut one potato into 8 pieces.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Put the potatoes into a small pot (a 1.5-quart one is plenty) and add cold water, just enough to cover them. Set it over the heat, wait for it to come to a boil, and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat. Don't forget to skim off the foam as it forms, right before it boils.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Prepare the vegetables. Peel the onion and carrots and cut them into large pieces. I cut each carrot lengthwise into 4 and each onion into 4 as well.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet and add the vegetables (onion, carrots) and chicken liver all at once. Keep the heat high. Fry for 15 minutes, stirring three times during that time — no more is needed. Over high heat the liver stays juicy; don't salt it right away, or it will toughen. We'll add salt to the nearly finished soup.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Add the fried vegetables and chicken liver to the pot with the already-cooked potatoes. Don't drain the water off the potatoes.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Now blend everything thoroughly with an immersion blender, working to leave no large unblended chunks of any of the soup's components. Add salt and stir.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Now pour the milk into the mixture and add the butter. Return the pot to the stove and bring to a boil over low heat, stirring. Turn off the heat. The soup is ready. Serve with any fresh herbs.

  • A delicious, hearty lunch in the form of a puréed soup. If you've never made this before, I highly recommend trying it — and if you have, make it again!
