Delicious Potato Soup
Take a look at this mouth-watering image that captures the essence of the dish:
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to whip up this comforting soup:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Chives, chopped (for garnish)
- Shredded cheese (optional)
Now, let’s get started with the cooking instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil (or butter) over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to mix with the onions and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken (or vegetable) broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can leave some potato pieces unblended for rustic appeal.
- Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through for another 5 minutes, but do not boil after adding the cream.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives and shredded cheese if desired.
