Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

Soup

  • 4-5 medium organic russet potatoes, peeled and cubed or Yukon potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ cup red onion, chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons On Everything All-Purpose Blend see notes
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons white cooking wine or additional vegetable stock
  • 4 cups organic vegetable stock/broth
  • 1 cup organic heavy cream
  • 1-2 cups freshly-grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chopped kale optional

Homemade All-Purpose Blend

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium-sized Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and butter until butter melts. Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
  • Stir in smoked paprika and the On Everything All-Purpose Blend until well combined with the aromatics.
  • Add the cubed potatoes and stir to coat them in the spices. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. For thicker soup, simmer an extra 10 minutes until potatoes start breaking down naturally. Alternatively, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour mixed with water to thicken while keeping potato chunks.
  • Stir in heavy cream, chopped kale (if using), and white cooking wine. Add freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese, stirring frequently until melted and soup is creamy.
  • Remove soup from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions if desired. Serve with a side of bread for a complete meal.

Notes

Store leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Soup can also be frozen for 4-6 months. For slow cooker option, sauté garlic and onions first, then add all ingredients except heavy cream and cheese to slow cooker. Cook on low 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally. Adjust spice quantities to taste as the recipe is bold in flavor. For vegan option, use vegan butter and full-fat coconut cream or milk, and dairy-free cheese alternatives instead of cheddar.
