Notes

Yukon Gold potatoes provide a creamy texture while holding their shape during simmering

Fresh herbs added at the end preserve their color and aroma

Lemon juice brightens the soup and balances the richness of the potatoes

Allow the soup to rest briefly before serving so flavors blend naturally
