Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
How to Make Creamy Garlic Potato Soup
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced potatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.
- Return the pureed soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Heat gently over low heat, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Tips for the Best Results
- For an extra depth of flavor, roast the garlic before adding it to the soup.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more broth if you prefer a thinner soup.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed; every potato can vary in flavor.
Easy Variations
- Add crispy bacon or pancetta for a smoky crunch.
- Stir in some shredded cheese, like cheddar or Gouda, for an extra creamy finish.
- Toss in some chopped spinach or kale for added nutrition and color.
- Swap out the heavy cream for coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
What to Serve With It
- Crusty bread or garlic bread for dipping.
- A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
- Grilled cheese sandwiches for a classic pairing.
- Roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
