Ingredients Galore!
Before we jump into the instructions, let’s gather our players. Here’s what you’ll need to rock this potato soup recipe:
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Time to Cook!
Alright, time to don your chef’s hat and get to work! Follow these simple steps to create potato soup that would make a potato weep with joy:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the diced onions and cook until they’re translucent, like a foggy morning.
- Add those glorious diced potatoes to the pot. Stir them in and let them mingle with the onions for about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the broth, bringing everything to a rolling boil. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, around 15-20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are tender, use a potato masher (or fork if you’re feeling adventurous) to mash them to your desired consistency. Want it smooth? Go for it! Like a bit of texture? You do you!
- Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, allowing it to melt and create a velvety smooth texture.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. It’s the final touch of magic. Also, you might want to taste-test during this step—chef’s privileges!
- Serve the soup hot and garnish with chopped green onions for that fancy restaurant vibe. Enjoy every blissful spoonful!
