Tips:

Use a variety of potatoes. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. You can use russet potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, or even sweet potatoes.
Don't peel the potatoes. The skins add flavor and nutrients to the soup. Just scrub them well before cooking.
Use chicken broth or vegetable broth. This will give your soup a rich flavor. You can also use water, but the soup will be less flavorful.
Add vegetables to your soup. This will make it more nutritious and filling. You can add carrots, celery, onions, garlic, or any other vegetables you like.
Season your soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
Let your soup simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to become tender.
Serve your soup hot with your favorite toppings. You can add sour cream, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped green onions.
