POTATO SOUP
One of my go-to soup recipes and a reader favorite! It's such a creamy, hearty, comforting soup. While the toppings (cheddar, bacon, and green onions) are optional I highly recommend them for that loaded baked potato style flavor!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, flavorful broth, and real Parmesan cheese will make all the difference in the taste of your soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many potatoes or other vegetables to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be too thick.
- Cook the potatoes until they're tender: This will help them to break down and thicken the soup.
- Don't boil the soup: A gentle simmer is all that's needed to cook the soup and prevent it from curdling.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the soup is flavorful but not too salty.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped chives, or a dollop of sour cream are all great options.
