Tips for the Best Cheesy Potato Soup

Choose the Right Potatoes: Russets or Yukon Gold potatoes preferred to make it creamier, but any tasty potato would do well. Do not use waxy potatoes because they are not easily mashed.

 

Add Extra Flavor: To expand it even more, you may add spice such as the paprika or cayenne pepper. The use of the fresh herbs such as thyme is awesome.

 

Keep It Creamy: Spoon the soup into bowls, and dilute the thickness you personally like by increasing or decreasing liberal amounts of broth or cream.

 

Make It Ahead: This soup can be prepared prior to serving as it can be reheated and served cold or chilled. Simply reheat on the stove before serving, just in case it has cooled down already.
