Gently pan-fry diced potatoes in a little salted butter for 10-15 minutes until golden. Sprinkle on the soup just before serving.
For a thicker consistency, decrease the amount of water to 600ml.

Yummo even without stock... I was sceptical but it was delicious. The study party was peeling the potatoes. Next time I won't peel them... Of course you don't have to do step 2 and 3 and just put the cream in at the end. It is still steaming hot.

I substituted liquid chicken stock for the water and found the result very enjoyable.

Made without dairy using soy milk and nuttelex instead of butter. Delicious.
