Step 1

Start by warming a tablespoon of butter and some olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Toss in the onion and cook it until it starts to brown, which should take about three minutes. Next, sprinkle in the garlic salt, tarragon, and a splash of liquid smoke, and keep cooking until the onion turns translucent, another two to four minutes. Then, add the potatoes and vegetable stock, bringing everything to a boil. Let it bubble away until the potatoes are tender and the broth has reduced to about a cup, roughly 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

While that’s cooking, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch and mix it well, making sure it doesn’t burn. Slowly pour in the half-and-half, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, which should take about three to five minutes. Pour this creamy mixture into the pot with the potatoes and stir to combine. Let it heat through for a couple of minutes, then ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with some shredded Cheddar cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
