For an even richer flavor, consider using chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. A pinch of nutmeg or a bay leaf added during simmering can enhance the soup's depth. Garnish with fresh chives, a dollop of sour cream, or crispy bacon bits for added flair. Russet potatoes can be substituted, but Yukon Golds provide a creamier texture. Adjust the amount of evaporated milk to achieve your desired consistency.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPlace the cubed potatoes in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch. (1 minute)
02
StepBring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Do not drain the water. (15 minutes)
03
StepReduce the heat to low. Gently pour in the evaporated milk and add the pats of butter. (2 minutes)
04
StepUsing a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the potatoes directly in the pot to your desired consistency. For a chunkier soup, leave some pieces whole. For a smoother soup, blend until nearly smooth. (5 minutes)
05
StepSeason generously with sea salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste. Stir well to combine. (2 minutes)
06
StepServe hot. This soup reheats beautifully in the microwave or in a double boiler over simmering water.
