This creamy potato soup combines Yukon Gold potatoes, vegetable broth, milk, and Breeze Blends Veggie Blend in one pot. Mash some of the potatoes to create a creamy texture without flour, while leaving tender chunks in every spoonful. Veggie Blend brings sea salt, garlic, black pepper, and onion flavor to this cozy soup.

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 30 minutes | Total time: 40 minutes | Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 2 teaspoons Breeze Blends Veggie Blend, plus more to taste
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, optional garnish

Instructions

1. Soften the onion. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
2. Simmer the potatoes. Add the potatoes, vegetable broth, and 2 teaspoons Veggie Blend. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently, partially covered, for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Thicken the soup. Use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes directly in the pot, leaving plenty of chunks. For a smoother soup, carefully use an immersion blender to partially blend it.
4. Add milk and cream. Stir in the milk and heavy cream. Warm over low heat for 3–5 minutes without boiling. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of broth.
5. Season and serve. Taste before adding more seasoning because Veggie Blend contains sea salt. Adjust to taste and serve topped with chopped chives, if desired.

Tips for Creamy Potato Soup

Cut the potatoes into even pieces so they cook at a similar rate. Mash more potatoes for a thicker soup, or add a little broth for a thinner consistency. Keep the heat low after adding the dairy to help prevent it from separating.

Potato Soup Questions

What potatoes work best for this soup?

Yukon Gold potatoes give this recipe a creamy texture while keeping some tender chunks. Russet potatoes also work and break down more readily for a thicker soup.

How do you thicken potato soup without flour?

Mash or partially blend the cooked potatoes into the broth before adding the milk and cream. Their starch helps thicken the soup without a flour roux.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Replace the butter with olive oil and replace the milk and cream with 1 1/2 cups unsweetened, unflavored dairy-free milk. Start with 1 cup and add more to reach your preferred consistency. The result will be less rich than the original.

How much Veggie Blend should I use?

Start with 2 teaspoons for this six-serving pot. Taste after adding the dairy, then add more if needed. Use low-sodium broth so you can control the seasoning.

Why Breeze Blends?

Veggie Blend combines sea salt, garlic, black pepper, and onion in one seasoning. It adds savory flavor to the potatoes and broth without requiring several separate spice measurements.
