How Do You Make Potato Soup Thicker?
Potato soup can be a quick meal for the family on the go. You can make your potato soup thicker and heartier for a delicious comfort food that tastes as if it has been simmering away in the slow cooker all day. The technique of making a roux takes only a few simple steps to bring your soup from thin and boring to rich and creamy in a matter of moments. Melt 4 tbsp. of butter or pan drippings in a small saucepan. Add 6 tbsp. of flour to the melted butter or pan drippings. Whisk until the mixture incorporates, then lower the heat and continue stirring. Cook for two additional minutes until the mixture gives off a nutty aroma. If the potato soup is at room temperature, use the roux immediately. Add the roux to the soup and whisk to mix thoroughly. If the potato soup is hot, cool the roux first to room temperature before mixing it in the soup.
