Notes

For a creamier texture, you can mash some of the potatoes with a potato masher before adding the cream. Be sure to dice vegetables evenly for uniform cooking, and adjust seasoning to your preference after cooking. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it in after adding the cream.
