Mrs. Mcateer’s Potato Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Peel and chop the russet potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Cook the Potatoes

   Add the chopped russet potatoes to the pot along with the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

   Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Heat through for about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving.
