Homemade Potato Soup
fromlifeloveandgoodfood.comlifeloveandgoodfood.com/old-fashioned-potato-soup
For me, there is something special about a pot of Old Fashioned Potato Soup simmering on the stove that feels like home. It’s the kind of no-frills soup I like to make when the weather turns chilly and everyone’s hungry right now. If you grew up on creamy potato soup like I did, you’re going to want to save this one!
Ingredients
Instructions
Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or soup pot until the butter is foamy.
Add diced onions and cook for about 5 minutes, until tender and translucent. Stir in the chopped garlic and fresh thyme leaves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth and diced potatoes to the pot. After the mixture begins to boil, cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Turn down the heat and use a potato masher to coarsely mash the potatoes, leaving some bigger chunks.
Whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch into the cup of milk with a fork, then add it to the pot of soup. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, or until the soup is thickened and creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Serve with more fresh thyme, if desired.
