Instructions

Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the finely diced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour to form a roux and cook for about 1–2 minutes while stirring continuously.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
Once mixed well, add the diced Yukon Gold potatoes along with dried thyme, dill, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using.
Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat to low and allow the soup to simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend part of the soup until creamy while leaving some chunks for texture.
Stir in almond milk or whole milk along with shredded cheddar cheese and keep simmering on low heat until cheese is melted—about 5 more minutes.
Taste your soup and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving hot.
Garnish with fresh chives or extra cheese if desired.
