- Don't overcook the potatoes: Cook the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy. Otherwise, the soup will be too thick.
- 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 this soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, and corn.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more creamy.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and crumbled bacon.
