Next, gradually, while stirring, add chicken stock, until all is incorporated, and you do not have lumps. Use a whisk if necessary.
4
Add potatoes, savory, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Cook till potatoes are tender, with the lid ajar, over medium-low heat.
5
Remove about a cup of the potatoes.
6
Stir in 1 cup heavy cream.

Mash the reserved 1 cup of potatoes slightly, then stir back into the soup.
