Ingredients

  • 6 whole Potatoes, Diced
  • 1 quart Cold Water, Or As Needed To Cover Potatoes By 1-2 Inches
  • 2 whole Carrots, Grated
  • 1/4 cups Diced Onion
  • 1 cube Vegetable Bouillon
  • 1/4 cups White Wine
  • 1/4 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cups Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1/2 cups Milk
  • 1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour (heaping)
  • 1/2 cups Shredded Cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Method

  • Add potatoes to a pot of cold water (should cover potatoes by 1-2 inches). Add grated carrots, onion and bouillon cube. Simmer on medium heat 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in wine, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley and cook 5 minutes.
  • Stir milk and flour together and add to soup, then toss in the cheese and stir until well blended and thick. (I use a potato masher to help break up any large potato chunks because I prefer a thicker smoother potato soup.)
  • Finish off with butter stirred in just until melted.
  • This soup stands well on its own, but is also fantastic topped with bacon, chives and sour cream.
