Ingredients
  

For the Soup
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 large Onion chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 6 cups Chicken broth
  • 2 lbs Potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup Milk or heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tbsp Fresh chives chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Blender or immersion blender

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot) and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot if using a standard blender.
  5. Stir in the milk or cream, chopped parsley, and chopped chives. Heat through, but do not boil.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker soup, use less broth or add a cornstarch slurry. You can also add other herbs like thyme or rosemary.
