A cozy celebration of flavors, this Cheddar Garlic Herb Potato Soup combines creamy cheddar and fragrant herbs for a hearty dish.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Sautéing the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
  2. Boiling the Potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Blending to Perfection: Once the potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can simply mash it with a potato masher instead.
  4. Creamy Integration: Stir in the milk or cream, shredded cheddar cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat the soup gently, allowing the cheese to melt into the creamy goodness.
  5. Final Touches: Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped chives for a fresh burst of flavor.

Notes

Use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture. For a lighter version, omit the cream and use vegetable broth.
