Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
  • 2 cups cubed Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • Optional toppings: cooked bacon crumbles, extra shredded cheese, extra sour cream

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the cubed potatoes, chicken broth, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Carefully transfer about half of the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
  4. Stir in the milk and cheddar cheese. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Do not boil.
  5. Stir in the sour cream until well combined.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives and your favorite toppings like bacon crumbles, extra cheese, or sour cream.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot with a spoon before adding the milk.
  • If you don’t have chicken broth, vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian option.
  • Adjust seasonings to your preference.
