To make a delicious Polish potato soup, you need a few key ingredients. The heart of this soup is, of course, potatoes. I recommend using starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russets. They break down well during cooking, giving your soup a creamy texture.

Ingredients
  

4 large potatoes, peeled and diced

1 large onion, chopped

2 carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Croutons for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.

    Stir in the diced carrots and celery, continuing to sauté for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

      Add the diced potatoes to the pot along with the vegetable broth and dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.

        Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

          Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. (Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender, then return it to the pot.)

            Stir in the heavy cream and heat through for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, croutons for added crunch.
