What Kind of Potatoes Are Best for Soups?
There are dozens of varieties of potatoes. Which potatoes are best for homemade soups? Here are some of the best varieties to try for the perfect bowl of potato soup:
- Red Potatoes. These have a low starch content and will not mess with the thickness of your soup.
- Yukon Gold. Yukon Golds are considered to be all-purpose potatoes. Perfect for this easy crockpot soup recipe!
- Purple Majesty. Exotic but will definitely add a bit of color to your homemade soup!
- Sweet Potatoes. Loaded with Vitamin A and higher in sugar for a sweet balance to your savory flavors.
- Russet Potatoes. All around easy potato to peel and cook with. This is what I used for this crockpot potato soup.
Can You Leave the Skin on Potatoes for Soup?
Potatoes flavor is strongest in the skins, so it makes sense to leave these on, and saves time. However, for creamed soups, you will not get a completely smooth texture if you leave the skins on. I prefer to peel potatoes for for this crockpot potato soup, but leave them on for other types of homemade soups.
