For an even richer flavor, consider using chicken or vegetable broth instead of water to cook the potatoes and onions. A touch of nutmeg or a swirl of heavy cream can elevate the soup to new heights. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more of the reserved cooking liquid until you reach your desired thickness. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, or a dollop of sour cream for added visual appeal and flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
45 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the potatoes and onions. Add enough water to cover the vegetables completely. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. (Approx. time: 45 mins)
02
Step
5 mins
Once the vegetables are tender, carefully drain the mixture, reserving 3 cups of the flavorful cooking liquid. Set the liquid aside. (Approx. time: 5 mins)
03
Step
10 mins
Working in batches, transfer the cooked potato and onion mixture to a high-speed blender. Add a splash of the reserved cooking liquid to each batch to help with the blending process. Puree until completely smooth and creamy. (Approx. time: 10 mins)
04
Step
2 mins
Return the pureed mixture to the pot. Over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a smooth roux. (Approx. time: 2 mins)
05
Step
5 mins
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken slightly. (Approx. time: 5 mins)
06
Step
10 mins
Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer the soup for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. (Approx. time: 10 mins)
07
Step
2 mins
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (Approx. time: 2 mins)
