If you're a fan of hearty soups that are indulgently creamy, then you're going to love this potato soup recipe. Perfect for cold winter nights or when you need a comforting meal, this soup is easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients:
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Begin by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to create a roux.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Using an immersion blender or transferring to a blender in batches, puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy.
Pour the soup back into the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as croutons, chopped chives, or shredded cheese.
