Homemade Broth Potato Soup

A creamy, comforting potato soup made from simple pantry ingredients, perfect for cold weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, about 4–6 minutes.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and stir to coat with the butter and aromatics for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat. Use a potato masher for a chunky texture or an immersion blender for a smooth soup.
  6. Stir in the milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Warm through gently.
  7. Ladle into bowls and finish with chopped chives or parsley.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk. Add bay leaf while cooking for extra aroma. Serve with crunchy sides or as a complete meal with a salad.
