Equipment
  • immersion blender
Ingredients
  
  • 4 Cups Peeled and diced Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 Tablespoon Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 Medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 Cups Milk
  • 1 Cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 Cup Sour cream
  • 1 Cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 Green onions, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 Teaspoon Black pepper, or to taste
  • Extra seasoning (optional, as preferred)
Instructions
 
  • Begin by heating the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
    Once melted, sauté the diced onion until transparent, which should take around 3-4 minutes.
    Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the sautéed onions and garlic to create a roux mixture.
    Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes or until the raw flour taste is cooked out and mixture is a hot roux with a golden color.
  • Gradually add 4 cups of milk to the Dutch oven, whisking constantly to incorporate the flour and prevent lumps.
    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, continuing to stir as it thickens.
  • Add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes to the pot and season with salt and black pepper.
    Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover the Dutch oven, and cook until the potatoes are tender, which typically takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, remove the pot from heat.
    Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency.
    For a thinner soup, you may add a few splashes of milk to reach your desired creaminess.
  • Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of sour cream to enrich the creamy texture of the soup.
    Return the pot to low heat to warm through.
  • Add the 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and stir until melted and well combined.
  • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with extra salt, black pepper, or additional spices as desired.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions for added flavor and color.
    Enjoy your homemade Eat N Park style potato soup with a warm and creamy consistency.
