Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and puree until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Chop the green onions and grate the cheddar cheese (if using) for garnish.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and additional parsley, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
