Notes
- Russet potatoes are my go-to for this recipe because they're nice and starchy, which helps thicken the soup.
- To make the recipe vegetarian skip the chicken bouillon and replace the water with vegetable broth.
- This soup tastes just as good the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
