Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes (about 800g), peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth (about 960ml)
- 1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and peeling the potatoes. Dice them into small cubes for quicker cooking. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add diced potatoes to the pot along with vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer covered until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth or transfer to a traditional blender in batches after cooling slightly.
- Return blended soup to low heat; stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Heat through without boiling.
- Serve hot with garnishes like fresh herbs or croutons if desired.
