Creamy potato soup is the ultimate comfort food—rich, velvety, and satisfying. Made with simple pantry ingredients like potatoes, onion, broth, and milk or cream, this easy potato soup is perfect for cozy nights or chilly days. Customize it with your favorite toppings like cheese, green onions, or sour cream for a bowl of pure comfort.

Ingredients

  • Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • Onion, chopped
  • Garlic, minced
  • Butter
  • All-purpose flour
  • Chicken or vegetable broth
  • Milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, sauté chopped onions and garlic in butter over medium heat until softened.
  2. Stir in flour to make a roux and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually add broth while stirring, then add diced potatoes.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup fully or partially, depending on your preferred texture.
  6. Stir in milk or cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, topped with sour cream, cheese, or green onions as desired.

Notes

  • Yukon Gold potatoes give the creamiest texture, but russets also work well.
  • For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and coconut or almond milk.
  • Add-ins like cooked sausage, corn, or carrots make this soup even heartier.
  • Soup thickens when stored—add a splash of broth or milk when reheating.
  • Freeze before adding dairy if you plan to store long-term.
