Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- 3 slices crispy bacon, crumbled (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken or vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches to purée.
Return the soup to the pot if blended separately, and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.
Simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Creamy Potato Soup by Frau Danger!
