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!
