Old-Fashioned Potato Soup
Nothing says comfort like a steaming bowl of potato soup. It’s creamy, rich, and packed with flavors that make you want to curl up under a blanket and binge-watch your favorite shows. But first, let’s take a look at the magic we’ll be working with.
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (because, why not?)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Get those taste buds tingling because it’s time to whip up this delightful soup!
- Start off by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté these beauties until they’re softened and the onion is translucent—about 5-7 minutes. Your kitchen should smell like a slice of heaven at this point!
- Toss in the diced potatoes and give everything a good stir. It’s time for those potatoes to join the party!
- Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, enough to cover those potatoes, and bring it to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- When the potatoes are ready, it’s cream time! Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to your heart’s content. A little taste test makes it even better!
- Finally, serve your delightful concoction in bowls and sprinkle those fresh chives or parsley on top for an extra touch of fancy. Now sit back and watch people swoon over your culinary skills!
And there you have it—your very own bowl of Old-Fashioned Potato Soup, ready to warm your heart and fill your belly! Enjoy every last spoonful, and may your tastebuds dance with joy!
