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

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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Serve the Creamy Potato Soup hot, garnished with your choice of toppings such as crispy bacon, shredded cheese, or chopped chives.
