Potato Soup Recipe
So hearty, satisfying, and deliciously filling ... and it's in your bowl in less than 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups milk
- 6 medium russet potatoes about 2 pounds, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional for garnish
- Chopped chives optional for garnish
- 4 slices cooked bacon crumbled, optional for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour to form a paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Gradually add broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add diced potatoes, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- If desired, use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth or leave as is for a chunkier texture. Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheese, chives, and bacon if using.
