- Using a potato masher, mash some of the potatoes in the pot, add half and half, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, stir into the soup, and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
Notes
- Evaporated milk can be substituted for the cream.Cheese can be added along with the sour cream. Remove from the heat and stir in until melted.
- For a thicker soup, combine equal parts cornstarch and water. Pour a little at a time into simmering soup while whisking to reach desired thickness.
- For a thinner soup, add additional chicken broth.
