Key Ingredients

The right ingredients make all the difference in a dish like Creamy Cowboy Soup. For the potatoes, aim for Russet or Idaho for their ease of cooking and light texture, especially when you roast them in the oven. Carrots that are high in beta-carotene, such as Imperator or Danver, provide a beautiful orange color once cooked through an aromatic flavor when sautéed with onions and garlic.

Try your hand at conceptual artisanal spices for unique flavor profiles, or stick with all-purpose options from local grocers. Seek out natural beef broth made with low-sodium vegetable broth to create an incredibly rich taste. Fresh parsley at the very end acts as a touch of colorful seasoning.

Prep:
15 min

Cook:
25 min

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

2 cups diced potatoes

2 large carrots

1 onion

2 cloves garlic

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground paprika

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel the potatoes and chop them into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

2

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add the chopped onions and sauté over medium heat until they are translucent. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute.

3

Add the carrots and chicken broth to the saucepan, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.

4

Once the potatoes are done, use a fork or potato masher to mash most of the potatoes in a bowl, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the heavy cream, roasted potatoes, ground cumin, and ground paprika to the saucepan, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

5

Serve the Creamy Cowboy Soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating

Creamy Cowboy Soup makes a perfect meal for both kids and adults, especially during winter or a cold autumn evening when everyone returns home hungry. Whatever the time of year, when you’re a kitchen chef – slow down, because any batches shared in a couple of days make a quick reheat in the microwave for 45-60 seconds and taste as if welcomed from scratch.
