Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs potatoes, russet, yellow, or gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 32 oz chicken stock or broth
- 1/2 white or yellow onion, sliced
- 1 cup canned coconut milk, unsweetened
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme or dried chives
Optional Toppings
- Fresh chopped chives
- Crispy bacon
- Drizzle of canned coconut milk
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes and Onion: Add chicken stock, sliced onion, and peeled, diced potatoes into a soup pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for approximately 5 to 8 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Be careful not to overcook to avoid reducing the liquid too much.
- Set Aside Some Potatoes: Once cooked, remove 1 cup of the diced potatoes from the pot and set them aside in a separate dish for later use in the soup.
- Blend the Soup Base: Blend the remaining diced potatoes, onion, chicken stock, and 1 cup of canned coconut milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Combine and Season: Pour the blended soup back into the pot. Add the reserved 1 cup of diced cooked potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme or chives. Stir everything together well.
- Serve with Toppings: Ladle the finished soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped chives, crispy bacon, and a drizzle of canned coconut milk if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
- If you overcook the potatoes and the soup becomes too thick, simply add extra chicken stock while blending to adjust the consistency.
- Use canned full-fat unsweetened coconut milk (not light). The ingredient list should include coconut, water, and guar gum. Shake or stir well as it can naturally separate in the can.
- The nutritional information is based on a 1 cup serving, which pairs well with other dishes. For a larger soup-only meal, consider serving 2 cups.
