Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup before serving. If you don't have chicken stock, vegetable stock works well for a vegetarian version. You can also substitute the butter with olive oil for a healthier option. Feel free to add diced onions or garlic for extra flavor, or even try adding ingredients from American recipes like sausage or tasso for added depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this potato soup hot, garnished with fresh celery leaves for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a light salad as a side. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside a dish like Sausage Rice Skillet Meal or even a grilled cheese sandwich for a comforting combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover potato soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. If the soup thickens, add a splash of milk to restore its creamy consistency before serving.
