Instructions

1

Cook the Potatoes

Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 to 18 minutes until the potatoes are completely fork-tender.

2

Mash or Blend

Remove from heat. Use a potato masher to mash about half the potatoes directly in the pot for a chunky-style soup, or use an immersion blender to puree to your desired consistency.

3

Stir in Sour Cream

Stir the sour cream into the hot soup until fully incorporated and the soup is thick and creamy. Return the pot to low heat and warm gently for 2 minutes. Taste and add additional salt if needed before serving.

Common mistakes

Adding the sour cream while the soup is still at a full boil, which causes it to curdle and create an unpleasant texture
Cutting the potato cubes too large and unevenly, resulting in some pieces being undercooked while others fall apart
