No-Peel Potato Soup: A Comforting and Easy Recipe



Potato soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. This recipe is for a no-peel potato soup, which is a bit healthier than traditional potato soup because it doesn't have the added fat and calories from the skin. It is also a bit easier to make, since you don't have to peel the potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1/2 onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, diced

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, green onions

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the chicken broth, potatoes, and milk to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  3. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Tips

  • For a thicker soup, add 1/2 cup of flour to the pot along with the chicken broth.

  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can puree the soup in batches in a regular blender. Just be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending, or you could risk the blender exploding.

  • To make this soup ahead of time, simply prepare the soup as directed, but don't add the sour cream. Cover the soup and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through. Then, stir in the sour cream and serve.

Conclusion

This no-peel potato soup is a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic comfort food. It's perfect for a cold winter day, and it's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
