  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth and bring to a simmer.
  2. Add the diced potatoes, salt, and pepper, then cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Lightly mash some of the potatoes in the pot for a thicker consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.
  4. Stir in the milk and heavy cream and heat through without boiling.
Serving

Notes

For a richer soup, you can add cooked bacon bits. Adjust the consistency by adding more broth or milk if desired.
