Here’s a comforting and creamy recipe for Potato Soup, perfect for a cozy meal that feels like a warm hug in a bowl! 🥰🥔✨
Ingredients:
4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, diced
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups milk (or cream for extra richness)
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Optional: Shredded cheese, sour cream, or crumbled bacon for toppings
Instructions:
Sauté the Onion:
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Cook the Potatoes:
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable broth.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Blend the Soup:
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot for a creamy texture, or transfer portions of the soup to a blender. Blend until smooth, leaving some potato chunks if you prefer a bit of texture.
Add Milk and Season:
Stir in the milk (or cream) and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency with more milk or broth if needed.
Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives.
Add optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or crumbled bacon for extra indulgence.
Tips:
Thicker Soup: Add 1 tablespoon of flour or cornstarch to the butter and onions before adding the broth to create a thicker base.
Make It Vegan: Use plant-based milk and vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed.
Enjoy your creamy and comforting Potato Soup—a simple and delicious dish that warms the soul! 🥰🥔🍲
