Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add diced onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in flour to coat the onions, cooking for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth and milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  5. Add peeled and cubed potatoes, bringing the liquid to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup for a creamy texture.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme to taste.
  9. Stir in heavy cream just before serving for extra richness.
