- Sautéing the Aromatics
Heat butter and olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until soft. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Adding Potatoes & Seasoning
Add cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir in salt, pepper, and thyme. Mix well to coat the potatoes with flavor.
- Adding Broth
Pour in the broth and add the bay leaf. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are very soft.
- Blending the Soup
Remove the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender) to puree until smooth and creamy.
- Adding Cream Return soup to
the pot and stir in heavy cream. Heat gently without boiling to maintain a silky texture.
- Final Adjustments
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Add more cream for extra richness if desired.
- Serving Serve hot with optional
toppings like crispy bacon, cheese, chives, or croutons.
