Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water, ensuring the water level is approximately 2 inches above the potatoes. (2 minutes)
02
Step
23 mins
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. (20-25 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Remove the pot from the heat and slowly stir in the non-dairy creamer (or light cream), incorporating it until the soup reaches a creamy consistency. (3 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Using a potato masher, gently mash the potatoes to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture if you prefer. (2 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (1 minute)
06
Step
Serve hot, garnished with your choice of toppings, or chill for a refreshing cold soup.
For the best flavor and texture, use Yukon Gold potatoes. Avoid russet potatoes, as they can become too starchy and result in a gluey soup.
Don't over-mash the potatoes unless you prefer an extremely smooth consistency. Leaving some chunks adds a pleasant heartiness.
Consider adding a bay leaf or a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the soup while it simmers for extra depth of flavor. Remember to remove them before serving.
The soup will thicken as it cools. Add more liquid (water, broth, or milk) to reach your desired consistency when reheating.
Garnish ideas: Crispy bacon bits, chopped chives, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a swirl of pesto, or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
