CREAMY CHICKEN POTATO SOUP

I honestly didn’t even want to think about food this last weekend with Thanksgiving leftovers still in the fridge. But with a new week all those feelings are gone and I’m hungry!

We are having an unusual cold front in Florida and although I could eat soup in 100 degree weather, this feels more appropriate.

Some might want to call this Creamy Chicken Potato Soup a chowder because it has potatoes in it. I’ve learned that people are really particular about what they call “chowder” so I steered clear and called it potato soup. I’m non-confrontational.

This soup has all the elements of comfort food.

Creamy Chicken Potato Soup

As with any good soup, it starts out with the trinity of onion, celery, and carrots. The base of these flavors together can lead to only good things.

You only need one potato for this soup but it goes a long way.

WHAT KIND OF POTATO SHOULD I USE?

I prefer to use Russet or Yukon because they give you a creamy texture. You could use even red potatoes if you wanted in this potato soup.

DO I HAVE TO ADD PARSLEY?

If you have kids, you know they probably freak out at the sign of anything green in their soup. You don’t have to add parsley but I feel like it brightens the dish up.
