Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Onion & Garlic

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2: Cook the Potatoes

Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 3: Blend for Creaminess

Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth (or leave some chunks for texture). If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer half the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 4: Add Milk & Seasonings

Stir in the milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5: Finish with Sour Cream

Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream for extra creaminess. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, crispy bacon, and green onions.
