Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced

Frozen Peas

2 cups of frozen peas

Onion

1 medium onion, chopped

Garlic

2 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetable Broth

4 cups vegetable broth

Cream

1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes for even cooking. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Gather your peas, broth, and cream to have everything ready for cooking.
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Blend the Soup: Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and keep the other half intact.
Add Peas and Cream: Stir in the frozen peas and let them cook for about 5 minutes. Finally, add the cream, mixing well until the soup is creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

Don’t Overcook the Peas: Add them towards the end to maintain their bright green color and fresh taste.
Texture Preference: Blend to your desired consistency; some prefer it completely smooth while others like some chunks.
Season Gradually: Taste and adjust seasonings throughout the cooking process for the best flavor.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, fresh potatoes and peas elevate the dish’s overall quality.
Garnish Creatively: Top with fresh herbs or a drizzle of cream for an elegant presentation.
