Cooking
  1. Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth; bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving

Notes

Best served hot. Pairs well with crusty bread or a simple salad. For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary. For thicker soup, mash a portion of the potatoes before adding cream. Refrigerate leftovers for 3-4 days or freeze up to three months.
