Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
  • If at any point the soup is too thick for you especially when reheating it add in some chicken broth slowly until your desired consistency is reached
  • I suggest reheating this soup on a low heat and stirring it often to prevent potatoes cementing on the bottom
  • This recipe is also on page 165 of the Salt & Lavender Everyday Essentials cookbook
