Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 for garnish, chopped Green onions
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes, low-sodium broth, and bay leaf to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaf, then use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to low heat, stir in the milk and heavy cream.
Add the black pepper and fresh thyme to the soup.
Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, remembering that this is a low sodium recipe.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
