Equipment

- Wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Blender or immersion blender
- Chopping board
- Knife
Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes peeled
- 1 medium Onion diced
- 2 stalks Celery chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- Chopped chives for garnish
- Shredded cheese for garnish
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Vegetables
- Peel and chop the potatoes into cubes.
- Finely dice the onion.
- Chop the celery.
- Note: Make sure all vegetables are similar in size for even cooking.
Step 2 – Sauté the Vegetables
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the onions and celery, sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Warning: Keep an eye on the garlic; it burns easily and can turn bitter.
Step 3 – Cook the Potatoes
- Add the chopped potatoes to the pot.
- Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Cover and let cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 4 – Blend the Soup
- Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy.
- Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender.
- Note: Be careful when blending hot liquids; start slow to avoid splashes.
Step 5 – Add the Cream
- Stir in the heavy cream and heat through.
- Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Fact: The addition of cream not only adds richness but also gives the soup a beautiful silky texture.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, simmer longer before adding the cream.
- If the soup is too thick, thin it with a bit more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
