This 4 Ingredient Potato Soup recipe is creamy and incredibly simple to make. All you need is potatoes, onions, butter, and milk. I bet you already have those ingredients in your kitchen right now.

Ingredients

Potato Soup Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled, rinsed, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups milk (2% or whole milk is best)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Add prepared potatoes and onions to a large stockpot or Dutch oven. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes.
  2. Cook on medium-high heat until the potatoes are tender and fall apart when pierced with a fork.
  3. Remove from the heat and drain most of the water, leaving about a cup of water in the pan.
  4. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they start to break down but not until they are all broken down.
  5. Stir in the butter and milk until everything is combined.
  6. If you prefer a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender.
  7. Return the pot to the stove and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes on medium heat, stirring frequently.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Remove from the heat and allow the soup to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  10. Top with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • We prefer using russet potatoes for a creamier soup, but you can use other varieties.
  • 2% or whole milk is best for a creamier consistency.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freezing is possible for up to 3 months, but the texture may become slightly grainy.
