Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Crumbled blue cheese
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) Chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for drizzling) Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until translucent and soft.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup in the pot 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 milk, heavy cream, and crumbled blue cheese. Heat the soup over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the blue cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives. Optionally, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top for extra richness.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
