Potatoes - Russet or white potatoes will work, use whatever you have on hand.

Onion - Diced finely, the onions will soften and become part of the broth.

Butter - to saute the onions and create the base of the soup.

Flour - All purpose gluten free flour creates a roux to thicken the broth.

Milk - Milk plus water from boiling potatoes creates a smooth broth for potato soup.

Cheese - Any shredded cheese will do. I like a sharp white cheddar.

Green Onions - Optional, but a beautiful way to garnish the soup.

Parsley - Also an optional garnish, but I love the way fresh parsley looks and tastes on this simple dish.

CAN YOU FREEZE Vegetarian Potato Soup?

I've been asked if this soup can be used as a make-ahead meal and stored in the freezer. The answer is, yes, you can freeze this Vegetarian Potato Soup. 

Some people like to store their frozen soups in gallon-sized zippered bags and lay them flat in the freezer. Then, all you have to do is put them in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. When you are ready to cook the soup, put it in a large pot and heat it on the stove.
