EASY CREAMY HOMEMADE POTATO SOUP



Easy Creamy Homemade Potato Soup image

You will love this easy homemade potato soup recipe with potatoes, veggies, garlic, and a creamy broth. The soup is comforting and ultra-flavorful. For the best potato soup, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have thin skins, so it is not necessary to peel them. They also become buttery and soft when cooked. There are two ways to serve this soup: brothy or thick and blended (our favorite). We love both and making them is the same except for the last step. For a thick, luxurious, and blended soup use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree or mash about half of the potatoes in the soup to thicken it.

Time 40m

Yield Makes about 7 cups of soup or 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
2 cups chopped onion (1 medium)
1 cup chopped carrot (2 medium)
1 cup chopped celery (2 to 3 stalks)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups stock or broth, see our chicken stock or vegetable broth
4 cups chopped potatoes, cubed (1 1/2 pounds or 3 to 4 medium)
1 bay leaf
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup cream, half and half, sour cream or plain yogurt
1 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheese like sharp cheddar or gruyere, optional
For serving (optional): Chopped parsley, chives or scallions, extra shredded cheese, sour cream, crumbled cooked bacon, hot sauce

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot (like a Dutch oven), melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, stir in the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften; 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and then cook, stirring everything around the pot, for 30 seconds.
  • Scatter the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, until it looks medium blonde in color; about 1 minute. It will smell toasty, like browned butter.
  • Slowly whisk in 2 cups of the stock, making sure there aren't any lumps of flour. It will be thick.
  • Pour in the remaining stock and whisk until blended. Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
  • Add the potatoes and bay leaf, and then cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are fork tender; about 20 minutes.
  • Turn the heat to low, remove the bay leaf, and then stir in the cream and cheese.
  • Taste for seasoning then adjust with more salt and pepper as needed. Serve with fresh herbs on top or for a thick and blended soup, use a potato masher to mash or an immersion blender to blend about half of the potatoes in the soup (this is Joanne's favorite way to serve the soup).

CREAMY POTATO SOUP RECIPE



Creamy Potato Soup Recipe image

This Easy Potato Soup recipe is the real deal. Shared with me from the granddaughter of an Idaho potato farmer, this homemade soup is creamy, thick, and luxurious, even without the optional cheesy garnish. It is truly the best potato soup I've ever had. And it only takes about 30 minutes to make!

Provided by Karen

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups diced Russet potatoes (2 large potatoes, about 2 pounds)
1 cup diced carrots (about 2 large )
1 clove garlic (mashed and diced)
3 cups water
1 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base (chicken or turkey flavor is great)
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup butter (one stick)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups milk (whole milk is best)
cheddar cheese
chopped green onions
chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Boil the veggies. Peel the potatoes (2 large potatoes, about 2 lbs) and dice them. I like a fairly small dice, about 1/2 inch. Place in a stock pot or 3 quart pot. If you have not quite 4 cups of potatoes, or more like 5 cups, don't sweat it that's fine.
  • Peel the carrots and dice about the same size as the potatoes. Add to the pot.
  • Smash and mince 1 clove of garlic and add to the pot.
  • Add 3 cups of water to the potatoes and carrots. The water should be just barely covering the vegetables, so add a little more or less to make sure they are just barely covered. (We are not draining these potatoes, this water will be part of the soup.)
  • Add a heaping tablespoon of Better Than Bouillon Base. The Roasted Chicken flavor is great, but I also love the Turkey base, it has really rich flavor. If you don't have Better than Bouillon, you can use a couple teaspoons of bouillon granules or cubes. Those are much saltier than the paste so be careful.
  • Chop about 1/4 cup fresh parsley, or use 1 tablespoon dried parsley. Add it to the pot.
  • Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium to keep it at a steady simmer. Vent the lid (tilt it so that steam can escape.) Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are very tender. You should be able to smash one with a fork easily. Remove from heat.
  • Use a potato masher and roughly mash the mixture to your desired texture. I like a velvety soup with some chunks. You can leave it very chunky by not mashing at all, or if you want an ultra smooth soup you can use an immersion blender.
  • Make the white sauce (bechamel). Meanwhile, in a 2 quart pot or larger, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Once it is melted, add 1/2 cup flour and use a whisk to stir it together into a paste. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook this mixture for 1-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Slowly add the 4 cups of milk, 1 cup at a time. Use the whisk to incorporate the milk into the roux (roux=butter/flour mixture) every time you add more. See photos. It should take a few minutes to add all the milk.* If you dump it in all at once, you will have flour chunks in your soup. Don't be like that.
  • Once all the milk is added, keep stirring often so the bottom doesn't scorch. Your heat should still be on medium. Wait until the mixture has come to a boil (consistent bubbles rising from the center) and then let boil for 1 minute, stirring. Remove from heat.
  • Pour the white sauce into the pot with the potatoes, using a spatula to scrape all that goodness in. Stir the mixture together.
  • Serve warm and garnish with extra chopped parsley, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Don't freeze this soup! The potatoes absorb tons of moisture, making the white sauce separate, and then it gets grainy on you. No thanks. Time to invite a friend over for soup and stories. I mean shouldn't that be a thing anyway?

EASY CREAMY NO-CREAM POTATO LEEK SOUP



Easy Creamy No-Cream Potato Leek Soup image

This is a quick and very tasty soup that is very easy. I love it with a crusty bread and a salad for dinner.

Provided by Amy Blum

Categories     Potato

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/3 lbs potatoes (2-3 large potatoes)
2 leeks
2 1/2 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Bring 7 cups of water with 1/2 tsp. salt to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Wash leeks carefully, and chop into medium sized pieces.
  • When water is boiling, add potatoes and leeks.
  • Turn down heat and simmer, covered for 30 minutes.
  • Reserving 2 to 3 cups of the cooking water, put the remaining contents of the pot into a blender or food processor.
  • Puree until smooth.
  • Add butter and blend until smooth.
  • Return soup to pot and bring to a boil.
  • Add reserved cooking water until soup reaches desired consistency (I like to leave it thick).
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
  • Reheats very well.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this soup because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a creamy texture.
  • Don't peel the potatoes: The skins of the potatoes add flavor and nutrients to the soup, so leave them on.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure it is flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many potatoes to the pot, they will not cook evenly and the soup will be lumpy.
  • Simmer the soup until the potatoes are tender: This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Chopped chives, parsley, or dill add a fresh, flavorful touch to the soup.

Conclusion:

This creamy potato soup is an easy and delicious recipe that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. The soup is creamy and flavorful, and the potatoes are tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will love.
