Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, finely sliced (optional, for garnish) green onions or chives

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the onions and garlic. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly add the vegetable or chicken broth to the pot, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Using a potato masher, partially mash the potatoes in the pot to create a creamy texture while retaining some chunks for a rustic soup.

Step 8

Stir in the milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and chopped dill. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions or chives if desired, and serve warm.
