How To Make creamy potato soup
-
1Add all veggies and salt & pepper to large pot. Adjust salt to your liking. Remember that chicken broth has salt.
-
2Add chicken broth and enough water to just cover the veggies.
-
3Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover. Simmer about 15 or so minutes until everything is tender.
-
4Mix milk and cornstarch and add to simmering vegetables while stirring. Add milk as necessary after it thickens.
-
5Once it is the consistency you like, remove from heat and add butter. Cover and let sit until butter melts.
-
6*NOTE: any kind of potato will work. I had red ones from the garden so that's what I used. You can add more or less butter, depending on your preference. I always add a lot of black pepper. You can also add 1/4 tsp. of paprika for color. This is especially nice if you aren't using red potatoes.
