  • For a creamier soup, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, which have a higher starch content.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to puree the soup. Just be careful not to overfill the blender and blend in batches if necessary.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, cook the potatoes and vegetables according to the recipe. Then, let the soup cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When you're ready to serve, reheat the soup over medium heat until warmed through. You can also add additional milk or cream to thin the soup, if desired.
  • Garnish the soup with your favorite toppings, such as chopped chives, sour cream, or crumbled bacon.
