POTATO SOUP WITH LEMON THYME
I love the flavor of lemon thyme, which is milder and brighter than traditional thyme. I always look for it in the supermarket and, in the spring, I usually buy a plant at my local garden center to use all summer! This makes a nice hearty soup. Sometime, I will substitute diced cooked ham for the sausage, which is just as nice.

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: A combination of starchy and waxy potatoes will give the soup a creamy and hearty texture. Some popular starchy potatoes are Russet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes, while popular waxy potatoes include Red potatoes and New potatoes.
- Roast the potatoes before making the soup: Roasting the potatoes before adding them to the soup will caramelize them and give the soup a deeper flavor.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and not too salty. You can also make your own vegetable broth using vegetable scraps and herbs.
- Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley will brighten up the flavor of the soup. You can add them at the beginning of the cooking process or just before serving.
- Finish the soup with a squeeze of lemon juice: A squeeze of lemon juice will add a bright and tangy flavor to the soup. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a creamy finish.
