Never heard of it as a Chef but to guess I would say to stop curdling of the milk or cream but the best way to do this is to make sure that the soup has cooled to a least 80 degrees Celsius before adding the dairy product to prevent curdling same should be applied to pasta before adding the cheese at the end to prevent splitting (pardon ignorance if wrong) assuming has been made from scratch and not a can, if from a can still would be to prevent splitting (curdling) but same principle should be applied that you should gentlely heat the milk to before boiling point and not actual bring to the boil.

Why do we heat the milk or cream before adding to the cream soup?

Heating milk or cream will help prevent the dairy from curdling from the sudden temperature change. The milk or cream has fats and proteins that will react negatively when suddenly changing temperature very quickly. They need to be gently brought up to temperature to retain their consistency.

How is cream and butter and curds made?

Cream isn't made. It's extracted from milk by letting the cream rise to the top of fresh milk and then it's skimmed off. Butter is made by aggitating the cream until the milk fat coagulates and forms butter. Curds are made by adding a curdling agent to milk which causes it to separate into curds and whey.

What is wrong with potato soup that has small bits of white stuff floating in it that looks like soured milk but the milk was good?

The protein in the milk has cooked, creating solid lumps. A solution, if it's cream of potato soup, is to put it all in the blender. You may have to process it in batches. That should take cre of the lumps. Next time, heat cream soups more gently. C ook at lower heat all you did was curdle the milk when you added it. If you warm the milk before adding it will not curdle You could use creme fraiche the next time you need to add cream to a hot mixture. It will not break down like regular creams or milk. There are recipes on line as to how to make it - pretty simple or perhaps your local store carries some. If you thickened your soup with flour or corn starch, the white lumps could be undissolved lumps of the corn starch or flour, it has happened to me. Make sure you dissolve your thickener completely in warm milk or broth before adding it to your soup. Jenny If your recipe uses milk it will curdle. Either make a roux or stir 2 tablespoon corrnstarch into a 1/4 Cup of COLD milk (from the recipe) before adding it to your soup (about 4-6 cups of soup). Bring to a boil to cook the starch and serve.
