This easy potato soup recipe not only tastes amazing but it's so simple to make that it'll be a favorite of busy moms everywhere!.
Place potatoes and chicken broth in a large dutch oven or pot and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking, melt butter in a saucepan, then saute the onions. Once they begin to soften, stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute or two.
Whisk in flour.
Add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring regularly.
Once the milk thickens, add milk and onion mixture to the cooked potatoes.
This next step is totally optional. If you like a chunky potato soup, you're ready to add your toppings and serve. However, we like our potato soup to have a smoother consistency so I put it in the food processor just long enough to break down the potatoes, about 20-30 seconds.
Ladle into bowls and add toppings such as cheese, bacon and/or scallions.
