  • To make the soup extra creamy, add a dollop of sour cream or grated cheese before serving.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to blend the soup in batches.

  • Leftover potato soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the soup on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
