Potato Onion and Blue Cheese Soup
 
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1½ cups half and half
  • 4 oz. Point Reyes blue cheese (plus a little extra for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large non-reactive pot, melt the butter and sauté onions and garlic until soft, do not let them brown! Add potatoes and garlic, stir to coat with butter and cook for about 4 minutes. Add stock to cover and lower heat to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool a bit.
  2. Blend smooth with a hand blender, or transfer to a blender and process until smooth. Return it to the pot if you are using a blender. Stir in the cream and cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved cheese.
