With just a few ingredients and minimal cooking time, this creamy potato soup is so easy to make, yet loaded with flavor. Plus, this velvety soup is ultra-rich without any dairy!

Virtually any milk will work, so you can swap for soy, almond, or regular. Be sure to dice the potatoes uniformly so they will cook evenly. Just one bowl of this tasty and luscious soup is sure to keep you satisfied and warm on any cold winter night.
