Tips for Making the Best Potato Soup:

Use a variety of potatoes: Different types of potatoes have different flavors and textures, so using a mix can create a more complex and interesting soup.
Roast the potatoes before adding them to the soup: Roasting the potatoes gives them a slightly caramelized flavor and helps them to hold their shape better in the soup.
Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use chicken, vegetable, or beef stock, depending on your preference.
Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
Add your favorite toppings: Potato soup is a great canvas for a variety of toppings. You can add things like bacon, cheese, sour cream, chives, or parsley.
