Notes
- Storage: Let soup cool completely before storing. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. It will thicken as it sits, so just stir in a splash of broth or water when reheating to bring back that silky texture.
- Freezing: Not ideal (potatoes can get grainy!), but if you must, blend the soup first for a smoother texture. Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheating: Warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a little broth or water as needed. For a quick fix, microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between to keep it creamy.
- Make It Chunky or Smooth: Love a little texture? Just mash the potatoes instead of blending. Want it silky? Blend it all the way until velvety perfection.
- Boost the Flavor: A squeeze of lemon brightens things up, a pinch of smoked paprika adds warmth, and a swirl of coconut cream makes it extra luxurious.
