Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large pot. Add 1 cup diced onion, 1 cup sliced carrot, 1 cup sliced celery, along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 6 minutes.

Notes

    • Don’t overcook the potatoes. Be sure to carefully check the potatoes during the cooking process and pull the soup off the heat once they are fork-tender.

    • Don’t skip the vinegar! Balsamic vinegar might seem like a strange ingredient in this chicken potato soup, but it’s the perfect way to cut the richness of the cream and make all the other ingredients shine!
