Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (optional)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped fresh chives or green onions, for garnish (optional)
  • Bacon bits, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables: Chop onion, carrots, and celery into 1/2-inch cubes. Peel and cube potatoes to a similar size. Mince garlic.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened (5-7 minutes). Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  3. Slow cook: Transfer sautéed vegetables to a slow cooker. Add potatoes, broth, thyme, rosemary, and pepper. Stir to combine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until potatoes are tender.
  4. Puree for smoothness: Remove about 1 cup of soup. Puree using an immersion blender or a regular blender (carefully, in batches). Return pureed soup to slow cooker and stir.
  5. Finish soup: Stir in heavy cream or milk (if using). Season with salt. Stir in cheese (if using) until melted.
  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls. Garnish with chives, green onions, and/or bacon bits.
