Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 medium Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 loaf Optional: Crusty bread for serving

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the browned potatoes from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the butter and allow it to melt. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the rolled oats to the pot and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are lightly golden and aromatic.

Step 7

Return the browned potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Add the bay leaf, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender (in batches if necessary) and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup gently over low heat for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves on top. Pair with crusty bread if desired.
