Ingredients

  • 3 cups Tasteful Selection White Delight Potatoes diced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Shredded cheese, bacon and scallions for toppings optional

Instructions

  • Place potatoes and chicken broth in a large dutch oven or pot and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
    3 cups Tasteful Selection White Delight Potatoes, 2 cups chicken broth
  • While potatoes are cooking, melt butter in a saucepan, then saute the onions. Once they begin to soften, stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute or two.
    1/2 yellow onion, 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 3 tbsp butter
  • Whisk in flour.
    1/4 cup flour
  • Add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring regularly.
    2 cups milk
  • Once the milk thickens, add milk and onion mixture to the cooked potatoes.
  • This next step is totally optional. If you like a chunky potato soup, you're ready to add your toppings and serve. However, we like our potato soup to have a smoother consistency so I put it in the food processor just long enough to break down the potatoes, about 20-30 seconds.
  • Ladle into bowls and add toppings such as cheese, bacon and/or scallions.

Notes

  • I love how easy this recipe is to make already but if you want to save even more time, use pre-cooked bacon and prepared garlic instead of fresh.
