Description

A rich and creamy potato soup loaded with sharp cheddar cheese, aromatic garlic, and savory herbs. This comforting one-pot meal features tender russet potatoes simmered in vegetable broth and finished with heavy cream for the ultimate cozy dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 medium organic russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons On Everything All-Purpose Blend
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons white cooking wine
  • 4 cups organic vegetable stock/broth
  • 1 cup organic heavy cream
  • 12 cups freshly-grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup kale, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. 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 and 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.
  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 bowls, top with freshly chopped parsley or green onions, and with a side of bread, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute Yukon potatoes for russet potatoes if preferred
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk
  • If you prefer larger potato chunks, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour mixed with water to thicken the soup
  • For extra thickness, let potatoes simmer an additional 10 minutes until almost broken down
  • You can substitute white cooking wine with additional vegetable stock
  • Kale can be omitted or substituted with spinach or other leafy greens
