🥔🤍 The Coziest Homemade Potato Soup Nothing says fall quite like a big pot of creamy, homemade potato soup! This recipe is rich, velvety, and filled with tender potatoes, savory garlic and onions, and a creamy broth. Blending half the potatoes is my little secret to getting that thick, creamy texture while still keeping those delicious potato chunks. Finish it off with shredded cheddar cheese and crispy bacon bits for the ultimate comfort food. Perfect for chilly days when you want something warm, hearty, and made with love. 🍂 ✨ Ingredients • 12 small-medium potatoes, peeled and cubed • 4 tablespoons butter • 1 medium onion, diced • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour • 64 oz chicken broth • 1 cup heavy whipping cream • 1 tbsp garlic powder • Salt and black pepper, to taste • Shredded cheddar cheese, for topping • Crispy bacon bits, for topping • Green onions, toppings ✨ Instructions 1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. 2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30–60 seconds until fragrant. 3. Make the base: Sprinkle in the flour and stir well, cooking for about a minute to remove the raw flour taste. 4. Add the potatoes, broth and cream: Stir in the cubed potatoes and heavy whipping cream. 5. Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. 6. Make it creamy: Remove approximately half of the potatoes and some of the broth. Blend until smooth, then stir the mixture back into the pot. This creates a thick, creamy texture while leaving plenty of potato chunks. 7. Add the toppings: Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with shredded cheddar cheese and crispy bacon bits. Add a pinch of green onions to each bowl when serving. Save this recipe for your next cozy fall evening! 🍂🤍 #PotatoSoup #CozyRecipes #FallRecipes #ComfortFood #HomemadeCooking — TikTok @nataliamcio
