Cream Of Potato Soup Recipe - A Cozy American Classic

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon chives (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until softened.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  2. Cook Potatoes

    Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.

    Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Blend the Soup

    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches.

    Allow the soup to cool slightly before blending for safety.
  4. Add Cream and Seasoning

    Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat through without boiling.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives.

    Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
