Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups peeled and diced russet potatoes (about 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: sliced green onions
  • Optional garnish: extra shredded cheddar
  • Optional garnish: crispy bacon bits
  • Instructions

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  • Toss in your diced potatoes, dried thyme, and parsley. Pour in the chicken broth and bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, roughly 15-20 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend about half the soup directly in the pot, leaving some chunks for texture. If you don’t have an immersion blender, ladle about 3 cups into a blender in batches, then return it to the pot carefully.
  • Lower the heat and add milk, heavy cream, and shredded cheddar cheese gradually, stirring constantly to melt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Keep the soup on low heat until it’s heated through, about 5 minutes. Don’t boil at this stage to avoid cheese separation. Taste one last time for seasoning and adjust if needed. Serve hot with your favorite garnish.
