Potato Soup

Ingredients:

4 cups cooked potatoes, diced

1 onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, green onions, bacon bits, sour cream

Instructions:

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender and puree it in batches.

Stir in the milk and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the soup hot, garnished with your desired toppings, if using.
