What each ingredient does
- Potatoes
- Supply starch and bulk, and give the soup its main potato flavor.
- Prepared soup
- Forms the liquid base that the diced potatoes cook in.
The step that matters
Boil until the potatoes are done. Very small dice cook quickly, so the potatoes can turn soft and mushy if boiled longer than needed. Checking for doneness during the 20 minutes helps keep their shape and texture.
