Recipe for the Very Best Potato Soup EVER
(I’m not an excellent recipe sharer. I give the fundamentals, however don’t fear a lot about precise quantities or precise occasions or precise elements. Sorry. And I’ll add a photograph after I make this quickly. We’re having the Taco Soup tonight . . . )
12 cups hen inventory or broth. I like to make use of Knorr’s as a result of I really like the taste. For those who use primary hen inventory, add poultry seasoning to style.
Carry the hen broth to a boil.
Potatoes. three massive (Costco sized) or 6 medium or 2 massive and some small or four massive and add extra hen inventory if wanted to cowl them. I typically simply begin peeling and chopping potatoes and peel and chop just a few extra if I would like extra as soon as they’re in the soup pot.
Peel after which dice or slice the potatoes evenly. You’re going to mix them anyway, so it’s only a matter of creating smaller items so that they’ll prepare dinner quicker.
Rigorously place the potatoes into the broth, and simmer till the potatoes might be pierced simply with a fork.
Utilizing a handheld immersion blender (one in all my favourite kitchen instruments), mix the soup fastidiously till it reaches the desired consistency.
(Rigorously = being certain to not slop boiling soup onto your self.)
Add eight ounces of cream cheese. I like to chop it into about 4 items after which stir round to let it soften. Then, as a result of I’m impatient and since we like the potatoes not-so-chunky and really properly blended anyway, I exploit the immersion blender some extra to mix in the cream cheese.
Y’all, this soup is SO good. So good. On a traditional day, I serve it with grated cheese to placed on high, and on a flowery day I prepare dinner bacon to crumble and placed on high as properly.
Mmmmmmm.
Our different favorites (with no fancy images) are:

And our favourite beef and vegetable soup is from a recipe not on my web site: Hearty Beef and Vegetable Soup BUT it’s essential so that you can see the modifications I make to it right here.
