Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
- Optional: Butter, garlic powder, shredded cheese, chives, or green onions
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add butter (if using) and sauté the diced onions until translucent, about 3–5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot, then pour in the vegetable broth. The broth should cover the potatoes.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup for a creamy texture. For a chunkier soup, lightly mash the potatoes instead.
- Stir in the heavy cream or milk and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with your favorite toppings and sides.
Notes
- For a Dairy-Free Version: Use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk in place of cream.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating Tip: Reheat on the stovetop over low heat; avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
- Customization Ideas: Add shredded cheese, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
