What type of potato do you use best for potato soups?

[chimam]

I’m curious about which type of potatoes y’all find works best for potato soups. I've tried a few kinds, but results vary wildly. Yukon Golds are my go-to, creamy and buttery. However, I've heard russets break down well, thickening the soup nicely. What are your preferences? Looking for input to perfect my next batch!

For potato soups, I recommend using Russet potatoes. They're starchy and break down easily, creating a creamy texture.

Go for the good ol' russet potatoes! They're perfect for making creamy and hearty potato soups.
