Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for 2 minutes, allowing them to absorb some of the flavors.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are fully covered.

Step 8

Add salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme, if using.

Step 9

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat through.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 13

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
