Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Potatoes, peeled and diced (Yukon gold or russet work well)
Garlic cloves, minced or whole (use more if I want a stronger flavor)
Onion, chopped
Olive oil or butter
Vegetable or chicken broth
Milk or cream (optional, for richness)
Salt and black pepper
Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley)
Optional: lemon juice or hot sauce for brightness

Directions

In a large pot, I heat olive oil or butter over medium heat and sauté the onions and garlic until soft and fragrant—about 5 minutes.
I add the diced potatoes and pour in enough broth to just cover them.
I bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 15–20 minutes).
I use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If I want a chunkier texture, I leave some potatoes whole.
I stir in a splash of milk or cream for richness (optional), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
I finish with chopped herbs and a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce if I want to wake up my taste buds.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings and takes around 30–35 minutes to prepare. It’s perfect for a quick comfort meal or a cozy recovery dish.

Variations

I add cooked carrots or celery for more depth.
I toss in spinach or kale at the end for added nutrients.
I sprinkle in a little grated Parmesan or cheddar if I want a cheesy twist.
I top with crispy croutons or a swirl of chili oil for extra texture and flavor.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. To reheat, I warm it on the stove or microwave, stirring occasionally. If it thickens, I add a splash of broth or water to loosen it up. This soup also freezes well. The Best Hangover Cure Garlic Potato Soup

FAQs

Can I roast the garlic instead of sautéing?

Yes! Roasting the garlic gives it a mellow, sweet flavor. I just mash it and stir it in once the potatoes are cooked.

What’s the best potato for this soup?

I like Yukon gold for their buttery texture, but russets work great too for a fluffy, smooth soup.

Can I make this vegan?

Yes, I use olive oil and skip the milk or replace it with unsweetened plant-based milk like oat or almond.

Is this soup good for meal prep?

Definitely. It stores well and tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.

How can I make it even more hydrating?

I thin the soup slightly with more broth or add extra lemon juice and herbs for a lighter finish that helps with hydration and recovery.
