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!

EASY CREAMY HOMEMADE POTATO SOUP
You will love this easy homemade potato soup recipe with potatoes, veggies, garlic, and a creamy broth. The soup is comforting and ultra-flavorful. For the best potato soup, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have thin skins, so it is not necessary to peel them. They also become buttery and soft when cooked. There are two ways to serve this soup: brothy or thick and blended (our favorite). We love both and making them is the same except for the last step. For a thick, luxurious, and blended soup use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree or mash about half of the potatoes in the soup to thicken it.

Steps:
- In a large heavy-bottomed pot (like a Dutch oven), melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, stir in the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften; 5 to 6 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and then cook, stirring everything around the pot, for 30 seconds.
- Scatter the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring, until it looks medium blonde in color; about 1 minute. It will smell toasty, like browned butter.
- Slowly whisk in 2 cups of the stock, making sure there aren't any lumps of flour. It will be thick.
- Pour in the remaining stock and whisk until blended. Increase the heat and bring the soup to a boil then reduce to a simmer.
- Add the potatoes and bay leaf, and then cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are fork tender; about 20 minutes.
- Turn the heat to low, remove the bay leaf, and then stir in the cream and cheese.
- Taste for seasoning then adjust with more salt and pepper as needed. Serve with fresh herbs on top or for a thick and blended soup, use a potato masher to mash or an immersion blender to blend about half of the potatoes in the soup (this is Joanne's favorite way to serve the soup).

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes: These varieties will give your soup a creamy texture.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many potatoes to the pot, they won't cook evenly and the soup will be lumpy.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so use a flavorful one. Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water can be used.
- Add in your favorite toppings: Once the soup is cooked, you can add in your favorite toppings such as cheese, bacon, chives, or sour cream.
