Creamy Potato Soup Recipe Comfort in a Bowl!

Here’s a delicious and comforting Potato Soup recipe that’s creamy, hearty, and easy to make! Creamy Potato Soup Recipe Ingredients: 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups (1 liter) chicken or vegetable broth 1 cup (240ml) milk or heavy cream 2 tbsp butter 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar works great) 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (optional, for topping) 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish) Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor) Instructions: Sauté the Aromatics – In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant. Cook the Potatoes – Add the diced potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Blend for Creaminess – Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth (or leave some chunks for texture). If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer some of the soup to a blender and puree in batches. Add Milk and Cheese – Stir in the milk (or heavy cream) and shredded cheese, mixing until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy. Season & Serve – Add salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. Serve hot, topped with crispy bacon, chopped green onions, and extra cheese. Tips & Variations: For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream. For a chunky version, mash some of the potatoes instead of blending. Make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth and skipping the bacon. Add extra veggies like carrots or celery for more depth of flavor.
