For a richer flavor, brown the pork chops in the pot before adding the vegetables and water. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after the potatoes are cooked. This soup thickens as it sits, so you may need to add more water when reheating. Consider adding a bay leaf or a pinch of dried thyme for extra depth of flavor.
