Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 3 tablespoons White miso paste
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 1 medium Potato, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 slices Crusty bread or baguette slices (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, taking care not to let it burn.

Step 4

Add the diced potato and thyme leaves to the pot, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potato pieces are tender.

Step 6

In a small bowl, dilute the miso paste with a few tablespoons of the hot broth, whisking until smooth. Add the miso mixture back into the soup pot and stir well.

Step 7

Lower the heat to a gentle simmer; do not let it boil after adding the miso.

Step 8

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.

Step 9

Gradually add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, stirring constantly until melted and incorporated.

Step 10

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 11

Remove the soup from heat and use an immersion blender (optional) to blend until smooth, or leave it chunky if you prefer a rustic texture.

Step 12

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, with slices of crusty bread or baguette on the side, if desired.
