Ingredients

• 6 cups small potatoes (skin on, thoroughly washed)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream (optional for richness)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 0.5 cups shredded cheddar (for garnish, optional)
• 0.25 cups chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
• 0.25 cups crispy bacon bits (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly wash the potatoes using a scrub brush to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for rustic texture and nutrients.

Step 2

Chop the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and set aside.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Add the chopped potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them in the butter and onion mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some potato chunks for texture. If you prefer a completely smooth soup, blend until fully puréed.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream (if using) for extra richness and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with shredded cheddar, chopped green onions, and crispy bacon bits, if desired.

Step 12

Serve hot and enjoy your comforting 'Soup Er No Peel Potatoes'!
