Notes
- Use Russet potatoes to make this soup creamy. Russet potatoes have a high starch content and are preferred when making creamy potato soup.
- For even more flavor, you can add in a leftover ham bone if you have any.
- After the soup is done, you can break up and mash some of the potatoes to make it even creamier and thick.
- The soup will continue to thicken as it cools.
- This soup is great on its own or served with crusty bread to mop the bowl.
