Print Recipe

A creamy and comforting potato soup made with tender potatoes, savory broth, and a hint of herbs, perfect for a cozy meal any day.

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
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 3 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery (if using), and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. 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.
  3. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks if preferred. Alternatively, transfer portions to a blender carefully and blend.
  4. Stir in milk or cream and heat through without boiling.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with cheddar cheese, bacon, and fresh chives if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, substitute half-and-half for milk and add a dash of smoked paprika or nutmeg.
