CREAMY AND HEALTHY QUICK POTATO SOUP
This is a favorite of mine. Light simple, quick to make and very very healthy. I love to serve this as a starter for a dinner party or served in small coffee cups as it makes a great comfort food sitting around the fireplace or watching the games on TV. Some grilled sandwiches and maybe some fries for a simple light dinner.

Steps:
- Start -- In a large pot on medium heat, add the butter and melt, then add the garlic and cook just a minute. Next, add the onions, carrots and potatoes and cook another minute until mixed well. Add the broth, bay leaf and thyme and cook on medium until all the vegetables are soft. About 15 minutes.
- Puree -- First remove the bay leaf -- Then just use an immersion blender. Or you can add the soup to a regular blender and blend until everything is a smooth texture. I love the immersion blender right in the pot, but both will work just fine. If using a regular blender return the soup to the pot. Then add the fresh parsley, heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste. Now this soup is thin, it is not meant to be thick. But if you want, mix a little water with the cornstarch to make a "slurry" and add to the soup and bring to a medium boil and it will thicken if you prefer it that way.
- Finish -- I like to top with a baguette with melted gruyere and put it right on top of the soup and then some crumbled bacon. You can really top it anyway you like. The soup is healthy and quick and just very light and easy.

Tips:
- Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for this soup, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the soup will be thinner.
- To make the soup vegan, you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the butter.
- If you like your soup with a little bit of a kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- For a more flavorful soup, you can roast the potatoes before adding them to the soup.
- To make the soup ahead of time, you can cook it up to 3 days in advance. Just reheat it over low heat before serving.
- Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, chopped chives, or crumbled bacon.
