Cream of Potato Soup is a comforting and hearty dish. Here's a classic recipe for you:
Ingredients:
✳️ 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
✳️ 1 onion, chopped
✳️ 2 cloves garlic, minced
✳️ 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
✳️ 1 cup heavy cream
✳️ 2 tablespoons butter
✳️ 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
✳️ Salt and pepper to taste
✳️ Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
🔘 In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
🔘 Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
🔘 In a separate small bowl, mix the flour with a little bit of water to form a slurry. Stir until smooth.
🔘 Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender (in batches if necessary) and blend until smooth.
🔘 Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and the flour slurry. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
🔘 Season with salt and pepper to taste.
🔘 Once the soup reaches your desired consistency, remove it from heat.
🔘 Ladle the cream of potato soup into bowls, garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired, and serve hot.
