How much water shall I use to cook the potatoes?

You should use approximately 6-8 cups of water to ensure the potatoes cook properly and you have a good soup consistency, but also feel free to adjust to make it how you like it.

Curious where you are from? This is different from how I make it. My recipe is from my Azorean ancestry! Going to try yours, blending the potatoes sounds interesting, makes for a more creamy soup I'm assuming! 🦋

My mom was from the Azores and she always made it this way as well, it is very creamy.
