Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
- Next, add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend just half of the soup and leave the rest as is.
- Stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup heat through for a few more minutes on low heat.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Enjoy your delicious bowl of Irish Potato Soup!
