  • 1 yellow onion

Optional

  • Fresh dill

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch (2,5 cm) chunks. Mince the onion.
  • Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven with a little water (or olive oil) and sauté the onions over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
  • Add in the potato chunks and sauté for 4-5 more minutes (see step-by-step pictures).
  • Pour in the vegetable broth and cover with a lid. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Mash everything with a potato masher and thin out the soup by adding more vegetable broth if needed.

Notes

  1. The vegetable broth you use will make a huge difference in the flavor. I personally like using vegetable broth powder to be able to intensify the flavor if needed. 
  2. Russet potatoes are the best for this recipe. They easily fall apart when cooked and their high-starch content provides a thick and creamy soup.
  3. I don't recommend blending the soup with a high-speed or immersion blender. I've done it and it provided a really gluey and gummy soup because the potatoes released a form of gelatinous starch due to the strong blending.
  4. You can replace ⅓ of the potatoes with cauliflower for a lighter soup. It's a great way to sneak in some veggies.
  5. Adjust seasoning with things you already have at home. Sometimes all a soup needs is some extra salt to bring the flavors to life. Make sure to do a taste test before you add salt as your broth is probably already salted. For extra flavor, you can also add a little garlic powder, black pepper, or chili powder.
