Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 2 lbs total) Russet potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 Celery stalks
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup Whole milk or heavy cream
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) Fresh chives
• 0.5 cup (optional, for garnish) Grated cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes. Finely chop the onion, carrots, and celery, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken or vegetable stock, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the milk or heavy cream, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice to give the soup its creamy and tangy flavor. Heat through for 5 more minutes, but do not let it boil.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives and grated cheddar cheese, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
