Recipe Instructions:

  1. Boil the Chaya in 4 cups filtered water for 10-15 minutes with 1 tsp salt to remove toxins.
  2. Discard water from the Chaya.
  3. Cook peeled and chopped potatoes in 4 cups of filtered water until well done.  DO NOT USE water from Chaya.
  4. Blend Chaya, potatoes, and butter in blender and liquefy. This may be done in several batches. (If there is no blender available, Chaya, potatoes and butter may be mashed with a potato masher or mortar and pestle.  Mash until liquefied.)
  5. Use additional filtered water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Salt and pepper to taste. This is really a great soup!
