This Cozy Caramelized Onion Potato Soup is creamy, rich, and filled with layers of flavor thanks to perfectly caramelized onions and hearty potatoes. It’s the ultimate comfort food for chilly days or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into cubes
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: croutons, shredded cheese, crispy bacon, chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions. Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and melt the butter.
  2. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt to the pot. Stir occasionally, allowing the onions to cook down and caramelize for 25-30 minutes until deep golden brown.
  3. Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes and set them aside.
  4. Add the chopped potatoes to the pot with the caramelized onions and stir to coat them in the buttery onion mixture.
  5. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
  6. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  7. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, work in small batches and be cautious with the hot liquid.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve the soup hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like croutons, chives, shredded cheese, or crispy bacon.

Notes

[“Caramelizing the onions properly is key to the soup’s flavor—take your time.”, ‘Cut potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.’, ‘Season gradually and taste as you go to avoid over-seasoning.’, ‘If using a regular blender, let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid hot splashes.’, ‘Customize the consistency by blending only part of the soup for a chunkier texture.’]
