Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: You can use russet, Yukon Gold, or red potatoes for this soup. A combination of potatoes will give the soup a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and the soup will be too thick.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth. If you're using a canned broth, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: You can add any vegetables you like to this soup. Some popular additions include carrots, celery, onions, and peas. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, or chives.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
