Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and chicken or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad. Enjoy!
