Indulge in this irresistible Cheddar Garlic Herb Potato Soup recipe A delightful medley of flavors that warms the soul with every spoonful
Ingredients
Scale
4 large potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup heavy cream (or a lighter alternative like half-and-half)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Instructions
Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into uniform chunks (about 1-inch pieces) for even cooking. Chop the onions and mince the garlic.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they’re translucent. Then, stir in the minced garlic and let it sauté for an additional minute.
Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for around 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have one, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a traditional blender.
Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and blended into the soup.
Taste the soup and season it with salt, pepper, chopped parsley, and fresh thyme. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
