Preparation
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add diced potatoes and chicken or vegetable broth to the pot; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Finishing
- Mash about half of the potatoes directly in the pot using a potato masher for a creamy texture, leaving some chunks for substance.
- Stir in milk, salt, and pepper, heating gently without boiling, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper with the seasonings. This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheats well on the stovetop or microwave. Adjust the consistency by adding more broth or milk as desired.
