Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 56 cups vegetable broth, divided (or chicken broth)
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley
  • Bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Saute Onion: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a dutch oven or stock pot over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add Potatoes & Broth: Add the peeled and cubed russet potatoes to the pot along with 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  3. Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and soft.
  4. Add Yogurt: In a small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of warm water until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup pot, stirring constantly to combine.
  5. Blend: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to blend the soup until completely smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, blending on the lowest setting with the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
  6. Add Broth & Season: After blending, whisk in the remaining 1-2 cups of vegetable broth to thin the soup to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Garnish & Enjoy: Serve the soup hot, garnished with optional toppings such as shredded cheddar cheese, fresh parsley, or crispy bacon bits for added flavor and texture. Enjoy your cozy potato soup!

Notes

  • If you prefer a richer soup, substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth.
  • To make the soup vegan, use a plant-based yogurt alternative and vegetable broth.
  • For a creamier texture, add more Greek yogurt or a splash of cream before blending.
  • Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
