👩‍🍳 How to Make Creamy Potato Soup

✅ Step 1: Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft (5 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

✅ Step 2: Add Potatoes & Simmer

Add diced potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

✅ Step 3: Blend the Soup

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Or blend in batches in a heat-safe blender. For chunkier texture, blend only half.

✅ Step 4: Stir in Cream

Return soup to low heat. Stir in milk and cream. Season with salt, pepper, and spices to taste. Simmer for 5 more minutes to thicken.

✅ Step 5: Serve

Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes!

🧊 Storage & Reheating

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Freezer: Freeze cooled soup for up to 3 months
  • Reheat: Gently warm on stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed

✅ Tips for Perfect Potato Soup

  • Use starchy potatoes (like Yukon Gold or Russet) for extra creaminess
  • Don’t skip sautéing onions/garlic—they add tons of flavor
  • For a thicker soup, reduce liquid slightly or stir in a flour slurry
  • Want it vegan? Use plant-based milk, vegan butter, and coconut cream

🔍 FAQ – Creamy Potato Soup

Q: Can I make this soup vegan?
Absolutely! Just use olive oil, plant-based milk, and skip or replace the cream with coconut cream or cashew cream.

Q: What’s the best way to blend it?
An immersion blender is easiest and safest. You can also use a countertop blender—just blend in small batches to avoid splashes.

Q: Can I add other vegetables?
Yes! Add chopped carrots, leeks, or celery when sautéing for extra depth.
