For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of canned broth.
Add a bay leaf or some thyme sprigs to the soup while simmering for extra depth of flavor. Remember to remove them before serving.
If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot towards the end of the cooking time.
This soup freezes well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
