Hearty Cheddar Garlic Herb Potato Soup

Print Recipe

A warm and comforting potato soup enriched with cheddar cheese, garlic, and herbs, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large potatoes (Yukon gold recommended), peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. Sauté the onions and garlic: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the diced onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the potatoes and broth: Pour in the broth and add the cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  4. Blend the soup: Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.
  5. Stir in cream and seasonings: Add the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes until cheese melts.
  6. Taste and adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. If too thick, add more broth or cream.
  7. Garnish and serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with additional cheese and herbs if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For chunkier texture, reserve some diced potatoes before blending and mix them back into the soup.
