Recipe Tips
For a thicker soup, you can add a few tablespoons of cornstarch or arrowroot powder before cooking. This will help to thicken the soup and give it a creamy texture.
For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of smoked paprika or 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the soup.
To make the soup more hearty, add 1 cup of diced carrots or 1 cup of diced celery along with the potatoes.
To make this soup even easier, you can use pre-cut potatoes or frozen potatoes. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
