Tips:
- Use leftover mashed potatoes that are still warm. This will help the soup come together quickly and smoothly.
- If you don't have any leftover mashed potatoes, you can make some fresh for the soup. Just peel and boil some potatoes, then mash them with butter, milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or onion. This will give the soup more flavor and nutrition.
- If you want a thicker soup, add more mashed potatoes or a cornstarch slurry. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth, then stirring it into the soup.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as croutons, shredded cheese, or chopped bacon.
