Easy Homemade Creamy Potato Soup | CulinaryCreationss

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes (about 4-5 medium potatoes). Russets are key here for that lovely starchy texture that helps thicken the soup naturally.
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1.5 cups whole milk (or 2% milk for a slightly lighter version)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (you can substitute with more milk for a less rich soup)
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• Optional garnishes: Shredded cheddar cheese, cooked crumbled bacon, chopped fresh green onions, fresh parsley.
