DELICIOUS THICK CREAMY POTATO SOUP
One of the best potato soups, I think the sour cream makes the difference, I like to add in the cayenne pepper for just a bit of heat, and I most always double the complete recipe and use 4 russet potatoes and 4 red potatoes. If desired you can add in some cooked cubed potatoes just before serving and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese, I most always do! you will love this!

Tips:
1. Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choices for creamy potato soup, as they break down easily and create a smooth texture. 2. Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, add flavor and texture to the soup. Make sure to wash and chop them before adding them to the pot. 3. Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the potatoes will not cook evenly. Make sure to add the potatoes in a single layer so that they can cook evenly. 4. Season the soup well: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are essential seasonings for potato soup. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley. 5. Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so make sure to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth, depending on your preference. 6. Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy. Make sure to cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape. 7. Garnish the soup: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra flavor.Conclusion:
Creamy homemade potato soup is a versatile and comforting dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like it thick or thin, creamy or chunky, there is a potato soup recipe out there for everyone.
