Looking for a simple, comforting meal? This 4 ingredient potato soup recipe is perfect! It's unbelievably easy to make, requiring minimal effort and ingredients. Ideal for busy weeknights or when you're craving something warm and satisfying.
Equipment
- Large Pot or Dutch Oven
- Immersion Blender (or Potato Masher)
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Potatoes peeled and cubed (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 6 cups Broth vegetable or chicken
- 1/2 cup Butter salted or unsalted (1 stick)
- 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste
Instructions
- Peel and cube the potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Ensure they are all similarly sized for even cooking.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the cubed potatoes and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Add the butter and salt. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can use a potato masher for a chunkier texture.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For a richer flavor, use homemade broth. Otherwise, a good quality store-bought broth will work just fine. Don't over-blend the soup. Leaving some chunks of potato adds texture. For an extra creamy soup, consider adding a splash of milk or cream at the end. Add shredded cheddar cheese during the last few minutes of cooking for Cheesy Potato Soup.
