Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the 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, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes and chicken or vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Step 10

Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad. Enjoy!
