Tips and Tricks for Making 3 Ingredient Potato Soup
- To make this recipe even more economical, make your own vegetable stock. Try this recipe for vegetable broth, or just simmer some onions and whatever other veggie scraps you have with water for an hour or more to make a flavorful stock that you can store in the freezer.
- Sauteeing the onions and potatoes before boiling them helps to pull out more of their flavor, and helps the soup to be ready quicker.
- If you'd like to make a creamy 3 ingredient potato soup, you have a couple of options. First, try blending some or all of the soup with a stick blender. This will give it a thick, creamy texture. Second, you could turn this into a 4 ingredient potato soup recipe and stir in a little bit of heavy cream at the end.
What to Serve With Potato Soup
A simple soup like this one can really go with just about anything, but all it needs is a side of crackers or fresh bread.
Try making frozen garlic bread in the air fryer! You'll also love topping this soup with crunchy air fryer croutons, or add extra protein with tofu croutons instead.
