Creamy potato soup made with russet potatoes, butter, and cream—rich, velvety, and perfect for cold nights

Ingredients

Scale

4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Optional: cooked bacon, shredded cheddar, chopped chives

Instructions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft.

Add diced potatoes and broth. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.

Blend half the soup for a creamy texture, then return to pot.

Stir in milk, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently for another 5–10 minutes.

Serve hot with toppings like bacon, cheese, or chives.

Notes

Blend more or less for desired consistency.

Substitute cream with plant-based milk for a vegan version.

Store leftovers in fridge for up to 4 days or freeze in airtight containers.
