Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Combine the potatoes, onion, and broth in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth, about 1 minute. If using a stand blender, work in batches and vent the lid to release steam.
  3. Return the soup to low heat and stir in the milk. Heat until steaming, about 3 minutes, but do not let it boil.
  4. Season with salt and pepper, starting with ½ teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper, then adjust to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.

Notes

If you prefer a richer soup, swap the whole milk for half-and-half or heavy cream. The soup thickens as it cools, so plan to stir in a splash of warm broth or milk when reheating leftovers. For a slightly rustic texture, reserve a few pieces of cooked potato before blending, mash them, and stir them in at the end.
