Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Potatoes, peeled and diced The star of the soup!
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped For that aromatic kick
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Because who can resist garlic?
  • 4 cups Broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 cup Heavy cream or milk For the love of creaminess
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme For flavor
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the onions, mince the garlic, and peel and dice the potatoes.
  2. Sauté the onions in a large pot until they become translucent.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for an extra minute to let the flavors meld.
Cooking
  1. Toss in the potatoes and cover them with broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  2. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Blend the soup using an immersion blender or mash with a potato masher for a chunkier texture.
  4. Stir in the cream and season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Simmer for a few more minutes until everything’s heated through.

Notes

For a chunkier soup, reserve a cup of diced potatoes before blending, then stir them back in. Try adding cheddar cheese, coconut milk, or sriracha for variations.
