Tips & Techniques

  • Ingredient Info

    Baking potatoes have low moisture and high starch content. Known as russets or Idaho potatoes, they are characterized by their long, slightly rounded shape and rough brown skin.

  • Healthy Hint

    A serving of this soup provides a good source of fiber.

  • Serving Suggestion

    Pick up a loaf of focaccia and warm it to serve with this chunky soup. For an easy dessert, warm apple pie filling and serve it over ice cream with a drizzle of caramel ice cream topping.
