Pro Tips for Potato Soup
Red potatoes or Yukon gold will give the best texture to this soup.
To thicken the soup further, make a slurry by combining a 1:1 ratio of cold water and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well and slowly add to the pot of simmering soup while whisking to reach the desired consistency.
Soups with dairy don’t freeze well as they can change consistency. If you do freeze this soup, freeze it before adding the extra sour cream. Reheat slowly over medium-low heat so as to not curdle the milk.
Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
