Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 piece large russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 piece onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste according to your taste preference
  • Optional toppings: crispy bacon shredded cheese, chopped chives

Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot or Dutch Oven This is used to cook the soup on the stovetop. A pot with a capacity of at least 4-6 quarts will work well
  • 1 Cutting Board and Knife For chopping the potatoes, onions, and garlic.
  • 1 Immersion Blender or Stand Blender o blend the cooked soup until smooth and creamy. An immersion blender allows you to blend the soup directly in the pot, while a stand blender requires transferring the soup in batches
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons For accurately measuring the ingredients
  • 1 Stirring Spoon or Ladle For stirring the soup and serving.
  • 1 Optional: Potato Peeler If you prefer to peel the potatoes before chopping them.
  • 1 Optional: Soup Bowls and Toppings For serving the finished soup, along with any desired toppings such as crispy bacon, shredded cheese, or chopped chives

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Once the potatoes are cooked through, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Serve the Creamy Potato Soup hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as crispy bacon, shredded cheese, or chopped chives.
