For a vegan variation, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based butter alternative, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Finish with a plant-based cream or cashew cream. To freeze, allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or freezer bag. Do not add the cream until reheating. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before gently reheating on the stovetop and stirring in the cream. A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth and complexity to the soup's flavor profile.

01 Step
Recipe View In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Add the sliced onion and potato to the saucepan, tossing to coat with the melted butter. Top with a circle of parchment paper directly on the vegetables (this 'sweating' technique enhances their natural sweetness). (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Cover the saucepan and simmer gently, ensuring the vegetables soften without browning. (15-20 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Remove and discard the parchment paper. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Using an immersion blender, carefully purée the soup until it reaches a silky-smooth consistency. (3-5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Stir in the salt, pepper, and heavy whipping cream. Gently simmer until the soup is heated through, taking care not to boil, which may cause the cream to curdle. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Serve immediately, garnished with a swirl of cream or a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
