Notes

Tips for Potato Soup:
  • Use russet or Yukon gold potatoes. 
  • Cut potatoes into small chunks and they will cook faster. 
  • If you don't have cornstarch to thicken the soup, remove about a cup of the cooked potatoes and mash them. Stir them back into the soup to thicken. 
  • If you are adding cheese, add it at the very end of cooking.
