Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large sweet or yellow onion, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
2 carrot , diced
2.5 cloves of garlic, minced
4 medium Russet potatoes (about 1 ½ pounds), peeled and diced
4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 ½ pounds), , peeled and diced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
salt and pepper (optional), to taste
¼ – ½ cup heavy cream (optional), or milk, half & half, or non-dairy alternative such as canned full-fat coconut milk
Toppings
cheddar cheese, shredded
bacon, crumbled
green onions or chives, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot, heat up the olive oil. Throw in the celery, diced onion, and carrots. Add salt and pepper to taste (optional). Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add in the minced garlic and cook until you start to smell the delicious garlic, about 30 seconds.
Add in the broth and potatoes. Add more salt at this point if you like.
Let the soup come to a simmer. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
Mash some of the potatoes with a masher (or the back of a wooden spoon or a large fork) to thicken the soup. You can mash all the potatoes for a totally creamy soup or leave some potato chunks for a combination of creamy and chunky.
Take the pot of the hot element and stir in the heavy cream. Taste to see if it’s seasoned enough. If more pepper or salt are needed, add them to taste.
The soup is done! Serve it with your favorite toppings and it’s ready to eat.
Notes
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add a little milk or water it’s too thick after reheating.
Adding a bit of instant mashed potato flakes to this recipe will give it that extra thick, cheesy consistency. For those chilly winter nights, this soup is the perfect comfort food. This recipe has minimal ingredients and is easy to make too!
