Servings: 4
Calories: 580kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil or other vegetable oil
- 1 large onion or 2 small onions, diced
- 1 kg russet potatoes peeled, washed, and cut into cubes around 1" thick (2.2 lbs)
- 350 mL heavy cream or whole milk (1½ cup)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add diced onions and saute for 6-8 minutes until soft and translucent. Transfer onions to a glass bowl and set aside.
- Using the same saucepan, place cubed potatoes. Add just enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook potatoes until fork-tender, around 15-18 minutes.
- Once potatoes are cooked, drain most of the water, leaving ½ to ¾ cup of liquid in the saucepan.
- Add cooked onions and heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and mash potatoes using a potato masher or blitz using an immersion blender. You can leave some potato chunks as desired or blitz until smooth. The soup will be quite thick. Add more water for a thinner soup.
- Add your favourite toppings (croutons, bacon, cheese, green onions, seeds, parsley) and serve warm!
