  5. Add the hot cooked potatoes and both into the creamy mixture; stir well.
  6. With a slotted spoon remove 1 or 2 cups of the potatoes and set them aside.
  7. Use a stick blender or blender or food processor to blend the soup in the pot.
  8. Return the blended mixture and reserved 1 or 2 cups of potatoes to the pot.
