  I made ham and bean soup a couple of months ago. To thicken it, I threw in a big handful of leftover takeout fries and it worked great.

    A little potato makes for a pretty good thickener in a soup.

  Potato soup is just mashed potatoes with too much water, fight me.

    I’m ready. Right here right now.

    A proper potato soup has nice spoon sized pieces of potato, celery, (and make sure you get some of the fresh celery leaves in there), onion, garlic, and carrot. And a not inconsiderable amount of bacon. (Pro Tip: Buy the cheaper bacon ends and trimmings for things like soups. They tend to be smokier and more bacon flavored). And for added flavor, tarragon and cilantro and black pepper.

    Thicken the soup by making a rue with butter and flour, dissolve in a cup of heavy cream, as that thickens a bit, add it to your soup to thicken the soup. Blend about half the soup to get that smooth creamy texture. And only takes about an hour start to finish.

    Beats anything you will ever get out of a can or restaurant.
