German Potato Soup - Bites of Beri

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped chives, crispy bacon, or sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender and blend until smooth. Be sure to let the steam escape to avoid pressure buildup.
  5. After blending, return the soup to the pot on low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to warm through for about 5 more minutes.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a bit of flair, consider adding your choice of toppings like chopped chives, crispy bacon, or a dollop of sour cream.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy every spoonful!
