Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 large Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them with the buttery onion-garlic mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the liquid covers the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot once blended.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Allow the soup to heat through for 2-3 minutes over low heat, but do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle a few drops of olive oil on top, and garnish with chopped chives.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers for a quick and satisfying meal.
