Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Substitute with olive oil or ghee for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 large Vidalia Onion Yellow onions are a great alternative.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is preferred.
  • 4 cups Yukon Gold Potatoes Keeping the skins on adds nutrients.
  • 4 cups Broth Use chicken broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian.
  • 1/2 cup Dry White Wine Replace with more broth if preferred.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Season to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Pepper Season to taste.
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary Dried versions work if fresh isn't available.
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme Dried versions work if fresh isn't available.
  • 1 leaf Bay Leaf Essential for flavor.
For Finishing Touches

Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large Dutch oven, melt butter and add a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced Vidalia onions with a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes until soft and golden brown.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in dry white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any flavorful bits. Cook until mostly absorbed, around 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add diced Yukon gold potatoes, broth, kosher salt, ground pepper, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for 20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Remove herb sprigs and bay leaf, stir in lemon juice, and blend until smooth, adjusting consistency if desired.
  6. Ladle into bowls and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs.

Caramelizing onions takes time, so keep them moist. Adjust seasoning after blending and consider adding other vegetables for extra nutrition.
