Note
This recipe lists "Vegan" in tags but includes butter and milk in the directions. For a true vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil or vegan butter and milk with unsweetened almond, oat, or soy milk.
The ingredient list only specifies 1 large potato, which yields very little soup for 6 servings. For a proper meal, increase the potato quantity to 4-6 large potatoes and adjust the milk and flour proportionally.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if the soup has thickened too much.
