Ingredients

  • 3 lbs russet potatoes peeled and into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 5-6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 stick butter ½ cup
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In a large pot (can be the same one you cooked the onion in), add the cut potatoes and chicken stock. Bring to a boil then reduce to a gentle boil and cook until fork tender. Do not drain!
  • To a blender (in batches depending on your blender size) add the potatoes, stock, and onions. Blend until smooth. Add more stock if needed.
  • Return the pureed soup to the pot, on low heat stir in the remaining butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
