Ingredients

Scale

Potato Soup:

  • 4 large potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for an additional minute.
  2. Add Potatoes and Broth: Add 4 diced potatoes and 4 cups of broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  3. Blend or Mash: For a creamy texture, partially mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
  4. Stir in Cream and Cheese: Add 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Season with 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs or extra cheese if desired.
