- After the potatoes are tender, use either a potato masher or an immersion blender to achieve your desired soup texture.
- Stir in the heavy cream gradually, mixing well to ensure it blends seamlessly with the potato base.
- Sprinkle in salt and pepper according to your preference. Taste to ensure it's just how you like it.
Serving
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve it hot. Optionally, top each bowl with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream.
