Why This 4 Ingredient Soup Recipe is So Good
- It's a super simple recipe! Potatoes, onions, broth, and milk are the four ingredients needed, and they come together to make the most delicious potato soup in very little time.
- This is the ultimate comfort food soup. It's filling, creamy, and delicious.
- This is a smaller batch soup recipe to serve four people. This is great if you're cooking for just a few, but you can easily adjust the recipe to make more potato soup if you want to!
Tips and Tricks for Making 4 Ingredient Potato Soup
- Use homemade vegetable stock for this soup recipe, or buy it at the store! Packaged broths can contain a lot of sodium, so you may want to opt for a low-sodium option.
- Because there are only four ingredients, be sure that they are all high-quality and fresh!
- To give potato soup a creamy comforting texture, we're using a standard blender. A stick or immersion blender can also be used, and that way you'll have fewer dishes to wash!
- If you'd rather not blend the soup, it's delicious left chunky as well.
- For a richer, creamier soup, use half and half or heavy cream in place of the milk in this recipe.
- Other seasonings can be added to your potato soup. Try a bit of cajun seasoning or a dash of hot sauce to give it a kick.
- A handful of parmesan or grated cheddar cheese will also be so good here, if you feel like adding another ingredient to this basic potato soup recipe.
- Store leftovers in the fridge. Your soup will stay fresh for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave as needed.
What to Serve with Potato Soup
Less is more when it comes to side dishes to serve with potato soup!
I like to have this soup with a nice loaf of bread or rolls, either homemade or from the bakery.
The easiest thing is to make some frozen garlic bread in the air fryer!
You might also like to add something crunchy to your creamy soup. Try my vegan croutons, or add some protein with crispy tofu croutons instead!
