Preparation

Step 1

In a large stock pot or dutch oven, melt butter and cook onions and garlic until softened. Add potatoes and chicken stock, cover and simmer until potatoes are soft, about 30 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup to desired consistency. I like to leave a few big pieces to give the soup a bit of texture.

Pour in the milk and cream and mix to combine. If it is still too thick, keep adding milk or cream until the thickness you like. Salt and pepper to taste, you can also add a dash of cayenne pepper if you like to kick up the spice a bit!

Heat through and serve with toppings of your choice!
