Description
This 5-Ingredient Potato Soup is super simple to make, and perfectly thick and flavorful!
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 green onions, thinly sliced with white and green parts separated
- 5–6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 lbs. frozen hash browns or fresh Russett potatoes, cubed or shredded
- 2 Tbsp. Old Bay seasoning (or any Cajun seasoning)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar, plus extra for serving
Instructions
- In a large stockpot, stir together the white parts of the sliced green onions (not the green hollow parts), broth, hash browns and seasoning. Heat over medium-high heat until the soup reaches a low boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the potatoes are cooked and soft, use an immersion blender to puree most of the soup until it is nice and thick. (Or you can transfer the soup to a traditional blender, and puree it there until smooth.) Return soup to stockpot, and stir in cheddar until combined.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra cheddar and the green parts of the green onions.
- *Note that this is definitely the 5-ingredient version of potato soup. You are totally welcome to add some extra seasonings if you like. This version is simple, simple, simple. :)
