Description
A cozy bowl of Irish Potato Soup made with simple ingredients you already have — creamy, comforting, and ready in under an hour.
Ingredients
4 large potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold), peeled and diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp butter
4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
½ cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional garnishes: crispy bacon bits, chopped chives or parsley, shredded cheddar
Instructions
1. In a soup pot, sauté onion in butter until translucent.
2. Add diced potatoes and pour in stock; simmer until tender.
3. Blend partially or fully to desired texture.
4. Stir in cream, season with salt & pepper.
5. Serve hot with optional garnishes.
Notes
Use russet potatoes for a naturally thick soup.
Substitute part of the cream with milk for a lighter version.
Make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock and skipping bacon.
Leftovers reheat well; add stock if too thick.
