A warm, comforting Nourishing Potato Onion Soup made with tender onions and creamy potatoes in a flavorful broth—perfect for cozy nights or a soothing starter. Full-bodied and hearty, it’s both simple and satisfying.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups peeled and diced potatoes (about ¾ inch pieces)

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme)

1 bay leaf

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or chives; shredded cheese; a drizzle of cream or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden (about 8–10 minutes).
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Add diced potatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes, coating them in the oil and onions.
  3. Pour in broth, then add thyme and bay leaf. Increase heat to bring the soup to a simmer, then lower to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  4. Remove the bay leaf. For a creamier consistency, use an immersion blender to partially or fully purée the soup. Leave some potato chunks for texture if preferred.
  5. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish as desired—parsley, cheese, or a swirl of cream add richness and color.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a naturally creamier texture.

For added richness, stir in cream or coconut milk before serving.

Add herbs like rosemary or sage for depth of flavor.

Blend partially or fully based on your preferred consistency.

Omit dairy for a fully vegan-friendly version.
