Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions or chives for garnishing
- Crumbled bacon (optional, but why not?)
Instructions
- First up, grab your potatoes and peel ‘em. Cut those bad boys into cubes, so they cook evenly.
- In a big pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onions and sauté until they’re soft and translucent. Add that garlic and sauté for another minute, letting all those flavors blend.
- Add the cubed potatoes and pour in the broth. Season with a little salt and pepper, then bring it to a boil. Cover and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are nice and tender.
- Once the potatoes are good to go, mash ‘em slightly with a potato masher. This will give your soup a creamy texture while still leaving some chunks for that hearty vibe.
- Pour in the heavy cream and mix it up real good. Let it heat through for about 5 minutes. If you like your soup thicker, let it simmer a bit longer.
- Now, stir in the cheddar cheese until it’s all melted and incorporated into that luscious soup. Adjust the seasoning if you think it needs more salt or pepper.
- Now it’s time to serve! Ladle that rich soup into bowls and garnish with green onions, chives, or crumbled bacon if you’re feeling extra.
This Restaurant-quality Baked Potato Soup is not just a dish; it’s a whole vibe. So, get cozy, grab a spoon, and enjoy every creamy bite. You’ve earned it!
