Equipment
- Large Pot
- Ladle
- Blender or Potato Masher
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes Russet or Yukon Gold, peeled and diced
- 1 onion diced
- 3 tbsp butter or dairy-free alternative
- 2 cups milk or plant-based milk for dairy-free
Seasoning (Optional)
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking.
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat and sauté diced onions until soft and translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cover with enough water to submerge them. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Drain most of the water, leaving just enough to blend the soup to your desired consistency.
- Use a potato masher for a chunkier soup or a blender for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Stir in the milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like shredded cheese, green onions, or crispy bacon bits.
Notes
For a thicker soup, add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water. For extra flavor, add garlic powder or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
