Step 4: Slowly pour in vegetable broth, stirring well.

Could this freeze?
I made this soup tonight and it was awesome! I had russet potatoes on hand so just used them and it came out delicious. The added touches at the end were perfect – bacon, sour cream, cheese, chives. It is a very hearty soup with plenty of leftovers. I fed 3 adults and 3 kids with plenty left for the rest of this cold winter weekend. Thank you for this recipe, we all enjoyed it a lot.
Do you peel the potatoes and I forgot parsley will it still be good
If you use Yukon Gold potatoes they do not need to be peeled. It will still taste yummy without the parsley.
Enjoy!
