4 Ingredient Potato Soup
This comforting 4 Ingredient Potato Soup is a creamy, velvety bowl of pure coziness that’s as easy to make as it is delicious. The tender potatoes melt into a silky base, while a hint of savory goodness ties it all together in under 40 minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs russet potatoes peeled, rinsed, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small onion chopped (about 1 cup)
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups milk 2% or whole milk is best
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add prepared potatoes and onions to large stock pot or Dutch oven.
- Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes.
- Cook on medium-high heat until the potatoes are tender and fall apart when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the heat and drain most of the water, leaving about a cup of water in the pan.
- Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they start to break down but not until they are all broken down.
- Stir in the butter and milk, until everything is combined.
- If you don't like any large chunks of potatoes in your potato soup, you can use an immersion blender.
- Return the pot to the stove and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes on medium heat, stirring frequently.
- If desired, season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from the heat and allow the soup to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Feel free to top this soup with your favorite toppings. Some of our favorites are shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions.
