Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups Tasteful Selection White Delight Potatoes, diced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings (Optional)
- Shredded cheese
- Bacon
- Scallions
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Place diced potatoes and chicken broth in a large Dutch oven or pot. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: While the potatoes cook, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they begin to soften. Stir in minced garlic and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Make Roux: Whisk in flour to the butter, onions, and garlic mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth roux.
- Add Milk: Gradually add milk to the roux, cooking over medium heat and stirring regularly until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the thickened milk and onion mixture into the pot with cooked potatoes. Stir well to combine.
- Blend Soup (Optional): For a smoother soup, transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend for 20-30 seconds until desired consistency is reached. For a chunkier soup, skip this step.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese, bacon, and scallions as desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- For faster prep, use pre-cooked bacon and prepared garlic instead of fresh garlic.
- You can customize toppings based on your preference or dietary needs.
- Using a food processor is optional depending on your texture preference for the soup.
