Description

Creamy, comforting, and incredibly satisfying, this homemade potato soup is the ultimate dish for chilly days. With its rich flavors and velvety texture, it’s the perfect way to warm your soul while enjoying a hearty meal. This easy-to-follow recipe uses simple ingredients that you probably already have at home, making it a go-to choice for busy weeknights or cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

– 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced

– 1 medium yellow onion, chopped

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

– 1 cup heavy cream

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Olive oil or butter for sautéing


Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté the onions until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add garlic and cook for another minute.

2. Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (15-20 minutes).

3. Use an immersion blender to achieve your desired consistency—smooth or chunky. Stir in heavy cream, seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

4. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like chives or cheese.

Notes

– For added nutrition, mix in chopped vegetables like carrots or kale.

– If you prefer a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk.
