Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
You can freeze this soup, but be careful not to overcook the potatoes. Defrost slowly in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat carefully so the potatoes don't fall apart and become mushy.
