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!

- Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to the soup. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, leeks, or peas.
