Potato Soup

A creamy and comforting potato soup made with tender potatoes, savory broth, and a blend of fresh herbs, perfect for a cozy meal any day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
  2. Add diced potatoes, broth, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or mash some potatoes for texture.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and heat through without boiling.
  5. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with cheddar cheese and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra richness, add crispy bacon bits as a topping or substitute half of the cream with sour cream for a tangy twist.
