Creamy Potato Soup

Name: Creamy Potato Soup
Ingredients: 2 large Potatoes; 2 tablespoons Butter; 3 tablespoons Heavy cream; 2 Egg yolks; 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock; 1 teaspoon Salt; 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (Optional, for serving)

A simple and comforting potato soup, enriched with cream and egg yolks for a smooth and velvety texture. A touch of Parmesan cheese adds a savory finish.

Ingredients

2 large Potatoes
2 tablespoons Butter
3 tablespoons Heavy cream
2 Egg yolks
4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
1 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (Optional, for serving)

Instructions

1Peel the potatoes, cut them into chunks, and boil them in salted water until tender. Drain the potatoes and rub them through a sieve or use a potato ricer to create a smooth puree.
2In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the potato puree, salt, and cream. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
3In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks lightly. Gradually whisk a small amount of the hot potato mixture into the egg yolks to temper them. Then, pour the tempered egg yolks into the saucepan with the remaining potato mixture. Stir constantly over low heat until the soup thickens slightly. Do not boil.
4Gradually add the chicken or vegetable stock to the soup, stirring until it reaches your desired consistency. Heat through gently. Serve hot, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese if desired.
