Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the yellow onion, mince the garlic cloves, and peel and cut the russet potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a standard blender in batches and blend, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, followed by the cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Season with salt, black pepper, dried basil, and paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
