Description

A comforting and creamy potato soup perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans peeled whole potatoes, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 cup cream or half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

  3. Return the purée to the soup pot and cook over medium heat until hot throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Season to taste with more salt and pepper as desired. Serve warm, topped with parsley, parmesan, or other garnish of your choice.
