Recipe Instructions:
- Boil the Chaya in 4 cups filtered water for 10-15 minutes with 1 tsp salt to remove toxins.
- Discard water from the Chaya.
- Cook peeled and chopped potatoes in 4 cups of filtered water until well done. DO NOT USE water from Chaya.
- 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.)
- Use additional filtered water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Salt and pepper to taste. This is really a great soup!
