Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs peeled potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), diced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup crispy bacon bits (optional)
2 tbsp fresh thyme or chives, chopped

Instructions

Prep your ingredients by peeling and dicing the potatoes, chopping the onion, and mincing the garlic.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat a splash of oil and sauté the onions until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender (leave some chunks if desired).
Stir in heavy cream and gently heat through without boiling. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve in bowls topped with crispy bacon bits and fresh herbs.
