Potato Soup

A creamy and comforting potato soup made with tender potatoes, aromatic vegetables, and a rich broth, perfect for warming up on chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, crispy bacon bits, sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to partially mash the potatoes, leaving some chunks for texture.
  5. Stir in milk or cream, and heat through without boiling.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings.

Notes

For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half for milk, or add a splash of white wine during cooking. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
