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.
