Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion chopped
1/4 tablespoon fresh thyme **
pinch dried oregano
pinch herbs de provence
s&p
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup cream
Be sure to evenly chop your potatoes and onions. This is important I had to use dried, I didn't enjoy it, but I did it anyways.
Preparation
1
Melt your butter in a large pot. Add your diced onions and potatoes to the butter when the butter is foaming. Stir to coat your veg. Season with s&p. Cover the pot and sweat down the veg for about 10 minutes. Uncover and add your chopped and dried herbs. Add the stock and cook until the vegetables are soft. Puree the soup to a texture your happy with. You can certainly make the soup totally smooth, but I always like a soup with a bit of chunkiness to it. Add your cream at this point and you're ready to serve.
