OLD-FASHIONED POTATO SOUP
This soup is closest to the soup I remember as child. I have seen many renditions of it surface in several bistros. It is easy and the method can be applied to broccoli or cauliflower.

ABSOLUTELY ULTIMATE POTATO SOUP
I have made this for many whom have given it the title. This takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. Please note: for those who do not wish to use bacon, substitute 1/4 cup melted butter for the bacon grease and continue with the recipe. (I generally serve this soup as a special treat as it is not recommended for people counting calories.)

Tips:
- Use russet potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato soup because they are starchy and will break down easily, creating a thick and creamy soup.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth, depending on your preference.
- Add your favorite vegetables: You can add any vegetables you like to your potato soup. Some popular choices include carrots, celery, onions, and peas.
- Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Serve the soup hot: Potato soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with chopped parsley, chives, or bacon bits.
