Friday Night Cozy: Just 5 ingredients. Creamy, hearty, and the kind of soup youll catch yourself thinking about tomorrow.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

For that creamy, dreamy texture, remove the soup from heat and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. Be cautious: hot liquids expand when blended, so leave a small gap in the lid.

Optional: For a chunkier texture, only blend half the soup, leaving some potato pieces whole.

Step 4: Stir in the Cream

Return the blended soup to the pot if needed. Slowly stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Heat the soup gently over low heat, stirring occasionally. Avoid boiling at this stage; you want the cream to warm and meld with the potatoes without curdling.

Step 5: Season and Serve

Taste your soup and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to your liking. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or a sprinkle of grated cheese if you like. Serve with warm crusty bread for dipping.
