Hi! Could you cook this on the stove? What would be the new times for cooking? Thank you!
Hey Stephanie! I have made this on the stove before. Just cook everything except the cheese and sour cream on medium heat until it thickens. I can’t remember exactly, but I’m guessing 20-30 minutes. Then add the cheese and sour cream and serve.
Hello, I made this soup and the consistency turned out very thin – practically the consistency of the chicken broth, it didn’t really thicken at all even after the milk, sour cream and cheese. Did I do something wrong? Thanks!
So sorry to hear that Hannah! One thing you can do if that happens again is blend a few cups of the soup and then add them back in. I hope that helps!
This was a hit for my family last night! We have found several of your recipes to be great healthy additions to our book of recipes, we are currently on week 3 of your 4 week plan. My husband was a bit hesitant as he is really picky on his potato soup, but loved this one! Thank you for so many yummy healthy recipes!!
I love hearing that Michelle! Thanks so much for commenting!
Do you blend this at any point? Mine is cooking now but having a hard time envisioning how it is going to be smooth and creamy, especially with the skins on!
(Also I used red skin potatos…hopefully that won’t effect things too much :/ )
Hi Alison! You can blend all or part of the soup if you want, my family likes the potato chunks. I hope you liked the soup!
