Creamy Potato Soup
Potato soup can be made in various ways – loaded, brothy, or creamy.
For this particular recipe, I like to puree the cooked potatoes, onions, and milk together to achieve a silky smooth consistency.
To add rich flavor to the soup, adding half a chicken stock cube and Swiss cheddar cheese adds pure magic to the mix.
Finish off with your favorite toppings, in my case cheddar cheese, parsley, and fresh homemade croutons.
- To make homemade croutons, add some cut bread pieces into cubes and coat with some olive oil, garlic powder, and salt to taste. Bake for 10 minutes in 375°F.
In regards to the potatoes, I highly suggest using waxy potatoes that are high in moisture and low in starch that make a perfect texture for blending into pure creaminess.
Red skin potatoes, new potatoes, and Yukon Gold potatoes all fall into this category.
Hope you enjoy this simple and delightful potato soup recipe!
