The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 whisk in 1/2 cup warm stock to thin the starch
- 2 add 2 tablespoons cream for smoothness
- 3 top with chives or bacon for texture contrast
If it's still wrong
- Serve with crunchy croutons for contrast.
- Dilute further and use as a sauce for vegetables.
Prevent next time
- Mash potatoes instead of blending.
- Blend only a portion of the soup.
Notes
Why this works
Extra liquid reduces starch concentration, and fat coats the starch molecules so the soup feels less sticky. Toppings add needed texture.
