Simple Caramelized Onion Potato Soup image

Peel potatoes and dice into large chunks (this helps them cook faster) and chop celery. Add both into soup pot with the chicken broth. Simmer until veggies are tender and potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. While your veggies are simmering, in a separate pan, add the chopped onions along with butter. Cook them very low and slow, stirring frequently so they don't burn or brown, but develop a deep caramel color, for 15-25 minutes. In the last 5 minutes or so, add the chopped garlic, and cook for the remaining few minutes. When your potatoes and celery are done, add the caramelized onions and garlic to the pot, and transfer to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Return blended soup to the pot, and add your milk or cream until the desired thickness and creaminess is achieved (this all depends on preference!) About 2 cups milk or 3/4 cup heavy cream is a good ballpark, but adjust based on preferences! Serve immediately, with parmesan cheese and chopped chives!

This soup is so easy to make and it's packed with flavor. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so there's less cleanup. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was perfect.

This soup is absolutely delicious! The caramelized onions add a wonderful depth of flavor, and the potatoes make it nice and thick and creamy. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and it was perfect. Will definitely be making this again!

I made this soup for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I used a combination of yellow and red onions, and I think that added to the flavor. I also used a bit of white wine instead of the chicken broth, and it turned out great.
