Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup, shredded (optional for topping) Cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks, sliced (optional for topping) Green onions
- 4 slices, cooked and crumbled (optional for topping) Bacon
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes (about 1 inch).
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, then return it to the pot.)
Stir in the milk and heavy cream (if using) and heat through, but do not let the soup come to a boil.
Season with salt and black pepper, and adjust to taste.
Serve hot and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and crumbled bacon if desired.
