What can I use to thicken potato soup without flour ?

Potatoes naturally release starch as they cook, which thickens the soup. You can also blend a portion of the soup or mash some of the potatoes for a creamy texture—no flour required.

Can I freeze gluten-free potato soup ?

Yes, but it’s best to leave out the cream and sour cream before freezing. Add them when reheating to avoid separation. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

Is all potato soup gluten-free ?

Not always. Many traditional recipes use flour to thicken the soup or contain broth with hidden gluten. Always verify your ingredients, especially for those with celiac disease.

What goes well with gluten-free potato soup ?

Great pairings include gluten-free toast, green salad, roasted vegetables, or simple side dishes like vegan green bean casserole or stuffed acorn squash .

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove and set aside.

2. Add butter, chopped onions, and garlic to the bacon fat. Sauté until translucent.

3. Add diced potatoes, chicken stock, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.

4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.

5. Blend half the soup (or mash for chunkier texture), then return to the pot.
