Cooking Tips:

 

  • Eric used chicken stock but this dish can be made vegetarian by using vegetable stock.

 

  • Potatoes swell and absorb water as they cook, so add a little more water to pot as they cook to replenish the absorbed liquid.

 

  • Limiting factor in cooking time is potatoes. Cut them small and the cooking time will be quicker and blending will be easier.

 

  • The amount of liquid you put in pot depends on thickness you want your soup.
    • For a thicker consistency add more potatoes.
    • For a thinner consistency add less potatoes and more stock.

     

  • This soup freezes well and can be made a day before serving.
