This Creamy Potato Soup is rich, hearty, and the ultimate bowl of comfort food. Tender potatoes are simmered in a creamy broth with onions, garlic, and herbs, then finished with smoky toppings and fresh herbs. The secret? Letting the potatoes cook low and slow so they release their starch and naturally thicken the soup, making it luxuriously creamy without too much heavy cream.
