Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes (about 800g), peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, roasted
- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roast the potatoes and garlic: Toss diced potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Place on a baking sheet along with the garlic cloves wrapped in foil. Roast for 30–35 minutes until golden brown.
- Sauté the onion: In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Blend the base: Add the roasted garlic, half of the roasted potatoes, chicken broth, and water. Use an immersion blender (or a regular blender) to puree until smooth.
- Combine the ingredients: Stir in the milk and remaining roasted potatoes for texture. Heat on medium until warmed through.
Season and serve:
- Add oregano and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh oregano.
Notes
- For a Vegan Option: Swap chicken broth with vegetable broth and use unsweetened almond milk instead of whole milk.
- Add Toppings: Crispy bacon bits, shredded cheese, or croutons can elevate the soup further.
- Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red chili flakes for a subtle kick.
- Thicker Soup: Use less broth or add a touch of heavy cream for extra richness.
