- 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
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.
