Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt the butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the potatoes, stock and bay leaf and heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.

  2. Step 2

    In batches, carefully purée the mixture in a blender or food processor. (Do not overblend or potatoes will get gluey.) Place in a clean saucepan and stir in the milk or cream. Season with nutmeg, pepper and salt.

Tip
  • To serve cold, chill the soup for at least 2 hours before adding the milk or cream.

I totally forgot to add the milk/cream and it was still delicious. I also didn't peel the potatoes, and used veggie broth. Really good!
