Indulge in this comforting, creamy potato soup that's perfect for cold days or when you're craving a delightful, warm meal. This recipe pays homage to traditional family meals with a burst of new flavors.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the cubed potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
3
Add the all-purpose flour to the pot, stirring constantly to incorporate it with the butter, onion, and garlic to create a smooth roux.
4
Gradually add the whole milk to the roux, stirring constantly to combine and avoid lumps. Continue to cook on medium heat until the sauce thickens.
5
Add the cooked potatoes back into the sauce, gently stirring to coat the potatoes evenly. Allow the soup to come to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
6
Simmer the soup on low for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken further.
7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy.
