Description
A creamy blend of potatoes, garlic, and cheddar cheese, this Cheddar Garlic Herb Potato Soup is the perfect comfort dish for chilly weather.
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they soften and become fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to carefully puree the soup until smooth.
- Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Heat the soup through until the cheese is melted and everything is warmed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, roast the garlic before adding it to the pot. For chunkier soup, reserve some diced potatoes and stir them back in after blending.
