Note
For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable bouillon cubes for the chicken bouillon.
Use russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture; Yukon Golds offer a naturally creamier result.
This soup thickens as it cools. You can thin it out with a little extra water or broth when reheating.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of chive oil for added richness.
