About cream of potato soup
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Melissa Norris’s cream of potato soup uses cooked, diced potatoes in a butter-and-flour base. This account selects her Yukon Gold recommendation with the skin retained, rather than an earlier potato-cooking method.
Butter melts before the supplied cooked potato pieces warm through. All-purpose flour is whisked in to make a thick paste without browning the butter.
Supplied chicken broth is added slowly and whisked smooth. Whole milk then joins the pot for a gentle simmer, with salt and the source’s unqualified pepper added as the soup reaches the desired consistency.
The selected method keeps the potato pieces rather than taking the separate immersion-blender option. If it is too thick, the recipe calls for more liquid without identifying that additional liquid.
The soup is removed from the heat and cools slightly before serving. The author describes rich creaminess and offers ham, bacon and cheese as separate toppings; none is part of this selected plain version.
