Ingredients
  

4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1.5 lbs)

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Grated cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

      Stir in the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

        Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

          Stir in the heavy cream and heat through over low heat. Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.

            Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives and grated cheddar cheese, if desired.
