Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds Russet or Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cut into 1 ½ inch pieces
  • 4 cups vegetable stock use a good quality or homemade stock
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream (can substitute for half and half or whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  • I start by softening the onions in a little butter over medium heat. The sound is soft, almost sleepy — a small promise that something good’s on the way.
    onion and butter
  • Once the onions turn translucent, I add the diced potatoes and pour in the broth. A gentle stir, a quick taste, and then I cover the pot.
    heatup
  • Fifteen minutes later, the potatoes are tender enough to break with a spoon. The kitchen smells earthy and warm, like the simplest kind of comfort.
    adding more
  • I blend the soup until smooth — not too perfect, though. I like leaving a few tiny potato bits for texture. Then, I pour in the cream and stir until it looks like silk.
    simmer
  • A pinch of salt, a twist of black pepper, maybe some chives if I have them. That’s it. No rush, no rules, just flavor that feels earned.
    serve and taste
