Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These potatoes have a higher starch content, which will make the soup creamier.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender, but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the soup gluey.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the herbs. You can use any combination of herbs that you like. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, and oregano.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt. This will add a bit of tanginess and richness to the soup.
