Brown Butter Potato Soup

Jump to recipe

potato soup 2

I can’t believe it’s almost spring.  We seem to be jumping from winter to early summer where I live…hopefully that will change and we will have a real spring.  I just had to get one more soup recipe in, while it is still officially winter.  Soup is just an amazing winter food, isn’t it?  I had some potatoes and decided my last soup recipe this season would be potato soup.  I usually make it fairly low fat, with just reduced fat milk and a little olive oil.  But, with winter coming to an end, I decided to go for indulgence and flavor.  I have been thinking about brown butter lately.  I really enjoy its nutty flavor and I don’t find too many opportunities where I want to use it.  I decided to add brown butter to my basic potato soup, and I am glad that I did.  The flavor was just so over the top buttery and nutty that it was hard to stop eating.  I may not make it very often, but it is something I will make when I want some comfort food and when I entertain.  I would love to pair it with a good steak…yum!   I hope you give it a try the next time you are looking for something to warm you up!

      Hi Cheryl! I love to freeze soups too, but I don’t eat them much during the summer. I totally agree…they are wonderful for a quick meal! Thank you Cheryl 😀

        If we have a rainy few days here and a little nip in the Ocean air I’ll take out some soup for lunch year round. Something comforting about that? Must be from my childhood LOL Have a great day! Cheryl x

        I can see that Cherly 😀 I grew up at the beach, and it’s amazing how it can feel so good by the water during a rain or even in the evening. I can see why that would be comforting for sure! I don’t live there anymore, so it is just hot all the time during the summer 🙁 Thanks Cherly! I hope you have a great day too 🙂

    Anything with potatoes has to be good and your recipe is not too high fat. I make a leek and potato soup which is delicious. Almost time to move on from soups to grilling 🙂

      Yummy Judi…I love leeks and potatoes!!! I am excited to get grilling again for sure 😀 Have a great weekend!

    That sounds really good to a soup lover. When I read the title at first I thought it was peanut butter soup. Hmm. Brown Butter Potato Soup sounds much better 🙂 Happy weekend.

    This soup sounds wonderful, Antonia. I’ve never heard if brown butter before and, like the commenter above, I thought you meant peanut butter at first. I’ve now looked up brown butter so am now fully informed! 🙂 I’ve never made straightforward potato soup, either – but leek and potato is one of our family favourites. I love anything with a nutty flavour, so I’ll give this soup a go. Love your toppings, too.

      Thank you Millie! That’s funny….I bet it was confusing, yet intriguing, lol! I love leek and potato soup too. That’s awesome, I hope you enjoy it! I hope you are having a wonderful week 🙂

I would love to hear from you!
