Ingredients

6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)

1 ½ cups heavy cream

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

½ teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to lightly brown.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using), and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve the soup topped with shredded cheddar, parsley, and sour cream if desired.

Notes

You can add other vegetables like carrots, celery, or leeks for extra flavor.

For a vegan version, substitute the dairy ingredients with coconut milk or another non-dairy alternative and use vegetable broth.
