Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, bacon bits, green onions

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until softened.
  • Add diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

  • Serve hot, garnished with optional toppings like shredded cheese, bacon bits, or green onions.

Notes

  • This soup can be easily made vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
