Equipment
- A boul
Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds russet potatoes
- 0.5 Cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon white pepper (ground)
- 4 ounces of butter
- 1.5 quarts chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons salt
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into small cubes that are 3/8th of an inch in width.
- Soak the potato cubes in a bowl of water for 5 minutes. Make sure to add enough water to the bowl so that it completely covers all of the cubes. Keep the bowl aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Wait to melt the butter and add all-purpose flour to it. And stir gently to mix the flour. Cook on medium heat for approximately one minute, stirring frequently, or until the mixture smells like pie dough.
- Pour in chicken stock and heavy cream to the cooked roux, and keep stirring the soup every few minutes until it reaches your ideal consistency.
- Now, drain the water from the bowl of potatoes, and add them to the pot. To season the dish, add salt and ground white pepper to taste.
- Keep cooking until the potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork. It should take around 30 minutes.
- Top with the garnishing items. Serve!
Notes
Add some bacon, diced ham, or crumbled sausage to the pot while simmering for an extra flavor boost.
– Try adding in some fresh herbs like thyme or oregano before serving for another layer of flavor.
– If you want to make the soup spicier, add a few dashes of hot sauce or chili powder.
– Serve with crackers or crusty bread on the side for dipping.
