🍳 Homemade Creamy Potato Soup

Ingredients:

• 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk or half-and-half
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon bits, green onions for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Cook the potatoes
In a large pot, add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 15–20 minutes).

2. Make the creamy base
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to make a simple roux. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth and slightly thickened.

3. Combine and blend
Add the milk mixture to the pot of potatoes. Stir well. For a smoother soup, mash some of the potatoes or use an immersion blender for a creamier texture.

4. Season and serve
Stir in salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese, bacon bits, and green onions if desired.
