For a richer flavor, use whole milk or half-and-half instead of skim milk.
If you don't have time to bake the potatoes, you can microwave them until cooked through.
To make the soup even heartier, add cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham.
For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the sour cream. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the soup gluey.
Make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Add some shredded cheese to the pot while it is simmering to give the soup a cheesier flavor.
