Description
This creamy potato soup is a comforting and hearty dish that is perfect for any day. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a delicious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk (or cream for extra richness)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional Toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, sour cream
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and dicing your russet potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until they’re soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the pot along with the vegetable broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Using a potato masher, gently mash the potatoes right in the pot—leave some chunks for texture! Then stir in the milk or cream to create that luscious, creamy finish.
- Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheddar, green onions, or a scoop of sour cream.
