Ingredients
To get started, here’s what you’ll need for this creamy goodness:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chives or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Now that we’ve got our ingredients all set, let’s get cooking!
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté them until the onions are translucent and you can smell that delicious aroma wafting around!
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot along with the chicken broth. Bring everything to a boil and then reduce the heat. Cover and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once those potatoes are nice and soft, it’s time to get creamy! Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend it until smooth. Just be careful, that steam be hot!
- Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season it with salt and pepper to taste. Let it heat through for a few more minutes, but don’t let it boil!
- When your soup is warmed up and ready to go, ladle it into bowls and finish it off with some chopped chives or green onions if you like a little extra zing. Enjoy!
