Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 5 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Sour cream (for garnish, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Additional chopped chives (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

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 toss to coat in the butter and oil mixture.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Bring to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes over low heat to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and additional chopped chives, if desired. Serve warm.
