Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large potatoes, peeled and diced Use russet or Yukon gold for a fluffy texture.
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth Ensure halal compliance.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For a creamier texture, add more if desired.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar, gouda, or non-dairy cheese work well.
  • to taste Salt and pepper
Garnishes
  • to taste Green onions or halal-friendly alternatives Optional, for topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes alongside chopping the onion. The smaller you cut them, the quicker they will cook.
Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil). Once heated, toss in the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent—around 3-5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, ensuring it covers the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Utilize an immersion blender to purée the soup to your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend it less. Then stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese until everything is melted and fully combined.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste. Give it a final stir and remove it from the heat.
  6. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top with green onions or your choice of halal-friendly toppings. Enjoy the warmth and flavor!

Notes

If you have leftovers, cool before transferring to an airtight container. In the refrigerator, the soup will last for about 3-5 days. For longer storage, freeze it for up to three months. When reheating, thaw if frozen and warm gently on the stovetop, adding broth or cream if it appears too thick.
