Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup sour cream

Instructions

  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and sauté until translucent (about 4-5 minutes). Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender (15-20 minutes).
  4. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or countertop blender (be cautious with hot liquids).
  5. Return to low heat, stir in heavy cream, and warm through without boiling.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and top each bowl with sour cream before serving.
