5.If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can blend it in a traditional blender or use a potato masher.

6.The potato masher will leave you with a bit of a chunkier soup.

    This is the best potato soup I have ever made! It is rich and thick. I do not blend the potatoes. I cook them, peel them – the skin comes off so easily, the. I use a masher from pampered chef to smoosh it down to the consistency that I want. We love this soup! Thanks for sharing!!
