Instructions

Step 1

Sauté aromatics: Heat oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 2

Simmer: Add diced potatoes, white beans, broth, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook 15–20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

Step 3

Blend (optional): For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in cream if using.

Step 4

Finish: Taste and adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls and garnish with parsley or chives.
