I love potato soup with all the topping accoutrements. I’m different from lots of folks because I prefer it puréed. I don’t like lumpy potato soup.

I cut mine in different sizes so some cook down while still having some chunky ones.

I also brown some bacon just before the onions to give the soup a little more depth. Just a personal preference. Otherwise I cook it pretty much the same as OP.

My #1 comfort food is chicken & dumplings. They are insanely easy to cook.

Cheeseburger
Chicken Fried Steak

Gumbo
Loaded baked potato with pulled pork and brisket
Pizza
Pot Roast
Fajitas with fresh flour tortillas
Tacos (Steak, shrimp or fried fish) with fresh flour tortillas
Greasy Chinese
Pho

I love food.

What kind of potatoes



I should tell you to only use red (Irish) for boiling and Russet for baking.


Truth is, three of the potatoes (the rounder ones at 11:00 4:00 and 6:00) were Irish (smallish new potatoes) and the other three were Russets (actually the smallest Russets we had in the pantry - to use up the small ones).


Why?


That was what we had in the pantry.





Edited to add:


Sorry I didn't answer your question. To me the potato use din my potato soup matters none at all. To some, it likely is very important. For them, I do know "Boil red" & "Bake Russet" To Fry? IMO - Old fashioned way is/was Red and modern is Russet?

Not my posts - It is me He doesn't like. His downvotes bring me great comfort and I am unhappy until they show up (like the warmth of the morning sun).

Sadly, his heart is filled with great unhappiness that has spilled over into hate. Horrible way to live.

thanks for the response.

Yeah, the variation of the sizes also contributed to my confusion. I recently did a Potato and Leek soup and I used yukon golds, I really liked the flavor of that variety.
