4-Ingredient Potato Soup
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 5-6 cups vegetable broth, divided (or chicken broth)
- 3/4 cup plain greek yogurt (+ 1/4 cup warm water)
- salt/pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Sauté the diced onion with olive oil for about 5 minutes in a dutch oven or stock pot.
- Add in the peeled and cubed potatoes, followed by 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth.
- Simmer over medium/low heat for about 20 minutes (or until potatoes are fork tender).
- Whisk together the greek yogurt and warm water, then slowly pour into the pot and stir.
- Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth, or transfer to a regular blender (you may need to do this in batches). If using a regular blender, it helps to blend on the lowest setting with the lid slightly ajar so heat can escape.
- Once blended, whisk in the additional 1-2 cups of vegetable broth to thin (if desired). Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with cheddar cheese, fresh parsley, and/or bacon bits. Enjoy!
