01
Step 1
Start by heating a mix of olive oil and butter in a big, sturdy pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions, shallots, green onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook everything until the onions soften and just start to brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Next, add the garlic and herbes de Provence, stirring for about 30 seconds until the garlic smells amazing—just be careful not to let it burn or it’ll get bitter.

Step 2
Add the potatoes to the pot and give them a good stir so they’re coated with all those flavors. Pour in the vegetable broth and milk, then stir everything together. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender enough to mash easily—around 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3
Once the potatoes are soft, use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to break up the chunks until the soup is mostly smooth, but still has a bit of texture. Finally, stir in the crème fraîche and give it a taste. If it needs a little something extra, add more salt or pepper until it’s just right.

How to serve
Serve this soup with warm crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. A sprinkle of crispy bacon or shredded cheese on top adds extra flavor and texture. It also pairs well with a dollop of sour cream or chopped fresh chives.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or milk if the soup feels too thick. This soup also freezes well for up to 2 months.
