Instructions
- In a large pot or stock pot, melt 1 Tbsp of the Butter over medium high heat. Then add in the diced onions and sauté until the onions are tender and translucent. Then move the onions to a separate bowl or plate.
- Then add the diced potatoes to the large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. The potatoes should fall apart when stabbed with a fork.
- Drain off most of the water. Leave approximately a half an inch of water in the bottom of the pot.
- Add the onions, the remaining butter and cream or milk to the large pot. Gently mash the potatoes. You can mash the potatoes with the back of a fork or potato masher if you like chunkier soup or you can use an immersion blender if you like thinner potato soup.
- Continue to cook the soup on low for 5 more minutes.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Then the soup is ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- We love topping this simple soup recipe with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cooked bacon, and diced green onions.
- We love using whole milk or heavy cream to make the creamiest soup. However, you can make this with 2% milk or skim milk to reduce the fat content. It will work but will not be as creamy.
