Ingredients

Scale

Potato Soup:

  • 4–5 medium organic russet potatoes, peeled + cubed ((You can also use Yukon potatoes))
  • 1 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsps On Everything All-Purpose Blend
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 Tbsps white cooking wine ((You can use additional veggie stock, instead))
  • 4 cups organic vegetable stock/broth
  • 1 cup organic heavy cream ((See Notes!))
  • 1–2 cups freshly-grated Sharp cheddar ((See Post for other Cheese options!))
  • 1 cup kale, chopped ((optional))

Instructions

  1. TO MAKE THE SOUP: In a medium-sized dutch oven pot over medium high-heat, add the olive oil and butter. Once heated and the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onions, and sauté until translucent + fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Add the smoked paprika and On Everything All-Purpose Blend, stirring until combined.
  2. Add in the cubed potatoes, stir to combine, and add in the vegetable stock. Bring everything to a boil for 1-2 minutes and reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes become tender and cooked through. NOTE: I prefer to let the potatoes simmer an extra 10 minutes until almost broken down which helps to naturally thicken the soup. However, if you prefer larger potato chunks, just add 1-2 Tbsps of flour mixed with water into the soup to thicken.
  3. Add in the heavy cream, kale (if using), and white cooking wine followed by the freshly-grated sharp cheddar, stirring frequently until the cheese has melted. Once creamy, remove from heat.
  4. Remove from heat and serve immediately into prepared bowl(s), top with freshly chopped parsley or green onions (scallion), and with a side of bread, if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream.
  • Experiment with different cheese varieties like Gruyere or Swiss for unique flavor profiles.
