Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 6 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika (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 sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until translucent and softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them with the butter, onions, and garlic.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged.

Step 6

Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooked, use a ladle to remove about 1 ½ cups of the soup (including some potatoes) and blend it until smooth using an immersion or countertop blender.

Step 8

Return the blended mixture to the pot to thicken the soup slightly.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Let it warm through for 2-3 minutes, but do not boil.

Step 10

Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a pinch of smoked paprika, additional dill, or a swirl of cream, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
