Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the heavy cream with sour cream. If you prefer a thicker soup, use a potato masher to crush more of the potatoes. Feel free to add cooked bacon bits or diced ham for extra protein and flavor. Always taste the soup before serving to adjust the seasoning to your preference.
