The Ultimate Potato Soup

perfect Potato Soup

This rich and creamy potato soup is delicious and was deemed "one of the best things I've cooked" all year by Mrs. Meat Church. It is inexpensive, goes a long way and fills up the hungriest of appetites. We find that red, white or Yukon gold potatoes are the best choice. They hold their shape after cooking better than russet potatoes which are better suited for baked or mashed potatoes. In this video we cook outside, but this soup can be prepared on your stove!

Finish the soup 
Smash the potatoes in the pot to the consistency you like. I prefer it pretty smashed up, preserving a few larger pieces. 

Spoon out a bite, blow it off and taste test. If it needs more BLANCO, add it at this time.

Fill a bowl with soup.
