Golden, comforting and redolent of home cooking, chicken soup is one of the perfect, longed for foods of our childhood. A classic expression of mother-love. Soothing and homey as it is, basic chicken soup is a frequent guest our tables. A friendly flavor and oh so welcoming.
And oh so many ways to dress it up. Hearty or light, homey or exotic you’ll find many soup recipes on my site that will bring you health and happiness. I’m somewhat fanatical about them.
And with light brothy soups like this one, these three ingredients will make you a soup wizard. Pickapeppa Sauce, White Wine and Vinegar. Let’s find out what makes this chicken potato vegetable soup so delicious.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Pickapeppa Sauce: If I were told that I could only one bottle of sauce in my refrigerator door, this would be it. A sauce for the discerning connoisseur, its mellow flavor of cane vinegar is a special compliment to many dishes. It brightens and it adds a depth of flavor. It’s awesome and it’s Jamaican. I use it in practically all my soups and you bet it found it’s way into this chicken potato soup.
- White Wine: We added white wine to almost everything in Culinary School. Pastas, soups, sauces. It simply adds a brightness and another dimension of flavor. It brings a balance of fruit and acidity to any dish. I’ve always followed the rule that you should only cook with wine that you’d drink. Friends don’t let friends use cooking wine from the grocery store. Just find a moderately priced white wine with a flavor profile that suits you. And choose one that’s dry and crisp. Sweet and oaky may not be the compliment you want for your savory meals. And unless you’ve just won the lottery, leave that $40 bottle of chardonnay in the wine fridge to enjoy with your next Shrimp dinner.
- Vinegar: Vinegar. Magical vinegar can brighten, balance and sharpen your food. Culinary school confirmed my love of the use of vinegar and that it’s as important to a cook as salt and pepper. It steps in to rescue and tame many flavors that want to bite back. Cider, wine, sherry, balsamic and distilled should be staples in your pantry. It somehow allows you to taste more flavors. Want those taste buds enhanced? Just add a teaspoon of vinegar.
What Kind Of Potatoes Are Best For Soups?
The versatile and reliable Yukon Gold potato.
The Yukon gold potato is thin skinned, smooth, waxy in texture, and relatively eye free. Its yellow-tinged flesh is richly flavored, fairly firm and moist, with medium starch content. Which means they’ll hold up to frying.
And there’s no reason to peel them. The skins are tender and tasty, just wash them well, and cube them into large bite sized chunks.
Yukon Golds are incredibly versatile. They’re superb for mashing and in soups and chowders, and they’re great for roasting and sauteeing.
Save the high starch potatoes like russet for baked potatoes, like this Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes Recipe. Their tough skins will keep the inside nice and fluffy.
Serving the Soup:
Serve this chicken potato vegetable soup piping hot in white bowls to show off the beautiful colors of the vegetables and the rich stock. Finish with grated parmesan cheese and fresh baked bread. Beautiful meal.

Delicious!!! Just a quick question, when/where do you add the vinegar? I added it at the end. Maybe it would have been even better if I had added it earlier?
Hi Mary – thanks for the note. I’m glad you liked the soup.
You did right by adding it at the end. As I learned in Culinary School, vinegar is used to “adjust seasonings” and “balance flavors” and is always added at the end. And I’m not sure why we don’t add it during the cooking process. It may alter its flavor and powers if we do.
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll change the recipe instructions to be more clear.
I think wine enhances the flavor of food so much, and I love that little kick from the pepper sauce and the cider vinegar!
Thank so much Sue.
That is quite a name for the soup but it looks delicious.
