Ingredients
- 4-5 medium organic russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsps On Everything All-Purpose Blend
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 Tbsps white cooking wine
- 4 cups organic vegetable stock/broth
- 1 cup organic heavy cream
- 1-2 cups freshly-grated sharp cheddar
- 1 cup kale, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent.
- Toss in the cubed potatoes, On Everything All-Purpose Blend, and smoked paprika, stirring well to coat.
- Pour in the white cooking wine, allowing it to simmer for a minute, then add the vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are soft.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.
- Stir in the heavy cream and grated cheddar. Mix until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- If you’re adding kale, toss it in at the end and let it wilt for a couple of minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper as needed, and serve warm.
Notes
Use fresh herbs for extra flavor and adjust thickness with vegetable stock. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes.
