LUSCIOUS POTATO SOUP
This is my favorite potato soup recipe ever. I actually prefer to skip bacon as I find the smoky flavor overwhelms the delicate flavor of the onions and creme fraiche. I don't bother using a blender for this soup as a bit of chunky texture is great.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, shallots, green onions, salt, and pepper; saute until softened and beginning to brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and herbes de Provence; saute until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Avoid burning the garlic; it will turn bitter.
- Add potatoes to onion mixture and toss well to coat. Pour in vegetable broth and milk; stir well. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender and can be easily broken up with a spoon, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to roughly mash the potato chunks until the soup is relatively smooth and the largest chunks have been broken up.
- Whisk creme fraiche into the soup and taste for seasoning. Add additional pinches of salt or black pepper if the soup tastes flat.

CREAM OF SHALLOT SOUP
From thekitchen.com which explains: 'Not only is this soup delicious, but, like most of our favorite soups, it's also ridiculously easy to prepare. The key is being careful with the few steps required. Make sure only to soften the shallots in the butter. You don't want to brown them at all. Browning would completely alter the taste of the soup. And when you add the cream and egg, be very careful to control the heat and prevent the soup from boiling. You want to warm the mixture through and thicken it slightly, not accidentally create a custard base. Your reward for these minor efforts will be more than worth the trouble.' CG says: you will save a significant amount of money if you buy shallots in bulk rather in those overpriced net bags.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Yukon Gold and red potatoes are good choices, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
- Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many potatoes to the pot, they won't cook evenly. Add them in batches if necessary.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can simmer it for longer if you want a thicker soup.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or cream for a richer flavor.
- Serve the soup hot. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This creamy potato shallot soup is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a warm and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
