Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons Cooked bacon bits
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small 1/2-inch cubes for quicker cooking.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, stirring frequently.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the potato cubes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, blending until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Stir in the milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat the soup over low heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onion, and bacon bits. Serve immediately and enjoy!
