For a richer flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water. You can also add a bay leaf during the simmering process for added depth; remember to remove it before serving. Yukon Gold potatoes offer a creamier texture compared to Russet potatoes, but either will work well. Feel free to experiment with other root vegetables like carrots or parsnips. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash a portion of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot to release starch and thicken the broth.
