Pour in the 5 cups of liquid (a mix of chicken stock and water works well) along with the bay leaves and thyme. Taste the broth at this stage; some stocks are saltier than others, so you might want to adjust before adding potatoes.
Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a quick boil, then reduce it to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls. If you prefer a richer soup, stir in a splash of heavy cream into each serving. Garnish with fresh flat-leaf parsley.
For a smooth, creamy consistency, use an immersion blender to purée the soup directly in the pot before serving. This step is optional, but it makes for a different texture.
