Description

This easy and comforting potato soup comes together with just four simple ingredients! It’s creamy, rich, and perfect for a cozy meal. Whether you need a quick weeknight dinner or a warm lunch, this soup is a delicious go-to.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)

 

  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, add the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth (or leave some chunks for texture). If using a regular blender, blend in batches carefully.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and salt, then simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.

 

  • Serve hot, optionally garnishing with shredded cheese, crispy bacon, or green onions.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes with a fork before blending.
  • To make it dairy-free, swap the cream for coconut milk or a dairy-free alternative.

 

  • Add black pepper, garlic powder, or a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
