EASY CREAMY SWEET POTATO SOUP
This is one of my signature dishes. I made this recipe when I was 12 years old. If you want to use potato instead of sweet potato, replace the coconut milk with cow's milk. Add your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor, or just prepare it as stated.

EASY CREAMY & BROTHY POTATO SOUP
Easy, few ingredients, not too thick but more substance than a broth soup. Healthier than canned. Nothing fancy but satisfying and simple. All done in one pot too. I prefer organic stock which is lower in sodium, so adjust for that. very good with good italian garlic bread topped with good italian cheese.

Tips:
- **Choose the right potatoes:** Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this soup, as they break down easily and create a creamy texture. - **Use a good quality chicken broth:** Homemade chicken broth is always best, but if you don't have time, use a high-quality store-bought broth. - **Don't overcook the potatoes:** The potatoes should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking them will make them mushy. - **Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the soup:** This will give the soup a smooth and creamy texture. - **Season the soup to taste:** Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of cream or milk for extra richness. - **Garnish the soup with fresh herbs:** Fresh parsley, chives, or dill are all great options. ###Conclusion:
Easy Creamy Potato Soup is a delicious, comforting, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have a delicious bowl of soup on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Easy Creamy Potato Soup a try.
