Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh garlic and high-quality vegetable broth. Adjust the thickness of the soup by mashing more or fewer potatoes to your preference. If you like a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal experience.
