Savor the rich and velvety goodness of this homemade creamy potato soup, perfect for cozy dinners and chilly nights. Featuring tender potatoes, aromatic herbs, and a delightful blend of spices, this easy-to-make soup is a comforting favorite that warms both body and soul.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

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

2. Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. You can also transfer it in batches to a regular blender.

4. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow it to warm through for another 5 minutes.


Notes

For a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup and mix it back in.

Top with shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, or chives for extra flavor.

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a naturally creamy texture.
