Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds (about 6 medium) Russet potatoes, scrubbed, peeled, and chopped
- Water (enough to cover potatoes)
- 3 cups whole milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the peeled and chopped Russet potatoes into a large soup pot and cover them completely with water to ensure even cooking.
- Cook Potatoes: Heat the pot over medium heat and cook the potatoes until they are fork tender, which takes about 20 minutes. Once tender, remove the pot from heat and drain the water.
- Add Milk and Butter: Return the drained potatoes to the pot and add the whole milk and butter. Place the pot back on medium heat, gently warming the milk and butter mixture until it bubbles slightly around the edges, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. This step helps to meld the flavors and heat the soup through without boiling.
- Final Touches: Remove the pot from heat. Ladle the creamy potato soup into bowls.
- Serve: Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste and serve immediately for a warm, satisfying dish.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, you can mash some of the potatoes while cooking or use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup.
- Add toppings like shredded cheese, chopped green onions, or crispy bacon for added flavor.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
