When prepping the potatoes for this creamy onion soup recipe, be sure to rinse and peel them. Then, you’ll want to dice them into small cubes about the size of a dime. Cutting them small will allow them to cook more quickly and evenly in the broth. Be sure to rinse them under cool water to remove any extra starch. Pat them dry before adding them to the pan.
If your soup begins to get to tight or thick, simply add more chicken broth. This will help loosen the soup back up. As a finishing touch, stir in the coconut milk last. This is a great way to smooth out the soup and give it a silky creamy texture. Top everything with the crispy mushrooms and chives. That said, you could also top it with a slice of toasted baguette too. This onion soup recipe is so tasty, I can guarantee you’ll be making it time and time again.
