How to Make the Best Homemade Potato Soup
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 2: Cook the Potatoes
Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 3: Thicken the Soup
In a small bowl, whisk the flour with a few tablespoons of the hot broth to make a smooth slurry. Stir it into the pot.
Add the milk and heavy cream, stirring well to combine.
Step 4: Blend for Creaminess (Optional)
Use an immersion blender to blend some of the soup for a creamy consistency, leaving some chunks of potato for texture. Alternatively, transfer a portion of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Step 5: Season and Simmer
