What Goes with Potato Soup?


  • Author: Saad

  • Yield: Serves 4

Description

This rich and creamy homemade potato soup is the ultimate comfort food. Pair it with crusty bread, fresh salads, or savory sandwiches for a satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, croutons

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Blend for Creaminess: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. For a chunkier texture, puree just half of the soup and leave some potato pieces intact.
  4. Add Milk or Cream: Stir in the milk or heavy cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat gently without boiling.
  5. Serve & Garnish: Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheese, green onions, or croutons for extra texture and flavor.
