Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1.5 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 2 Scallions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the milk, heavy cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chopped dill and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional dill and sliced scallions, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
