Is there anything more cozy and comforting than a pot of soup simmering away on the stove? This homemade potato soup definitely falls in the category of hearty and wholesome and utterly delicious!
The addition of the chilli flakes gives this creamy soup the perfect depth and a warm flavour to boot. Blend it into the potato soup and even be as bold as to sprinkle it on top before serving.
The hardest part of this super easy potato soup recipe is probably the peeling and cubing of the spuds. Try and cut your potatoes into not too big pieces of more or less the same size so they will take the same time to cook.
If you want a super smooth soup, you can puree all of it with a blender, but consider leaving a few actual pieces of potato for some taste and texture.
Serve up with some heated dinner rolls or crusty bread to mop up every last drop of this creamy deliciousness.
CHEF’S TIP:
If you really want to go to town with your potato soup, some toppings for consideration would be some crispy, diced bacon, grated cheddar cheese and/or chives.
You can also load this soup up with some extra veggies. Simply toss in a handful of chopped cauliflower and/or broccoli along with the potatoes.
