Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or a few sprigs of fresh thyme)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by peeling and dicing the potatoes, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the onions until translucent, then add minced garlic and stir for about one minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, blend in batches carefully to avoid splatters.
- Stir in heavy cream and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Adjust flavors as needed.
- Serve hot in bowls garnished with fresh herbs or croutons if desired.
