Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium, peeled and diced Yukon Gold potatoes
- 5 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) fresh parsley
- optional, for serving crusty bread
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot, stir, and cook for 3 minutes to coat them in the buttery mixture.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer it to a blender in batches to puree.
Return the soup to the pot (if using a blender) and stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme. Let it heat through for 3–4 minutes, but do not let it boil.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve hot with crusty bread on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
