- For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup once the potatoes are tender.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- If you prefer a richer soup, you can substitute heavy cream for the light sour cream, or add grated cheese when serving.
