Notes
If you want a thick soup then use less water and just barely cover the ingredients. Use the heavy cream and if you need it thicker then add in cornstarch mixed with a little water. Turn on saute mode to thicken. Red potatoes range in size so adjust your amount of potatoes to the size of what is needed.
