Ingredients
Scale
4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2–3 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (for a vegetarian option)
1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the Potatoes and Broth: Mix in the diced russet potatoes, thyme, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, bringing it to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Blend the Soup: Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to purée the soup to your desired consistency.
Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream (or dairy-free substitute) and shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Serve and Garnish: Serve your delightful soup hot, garnished with fresh chives.
