This was VERY good! We had this for supper tonight. I added some green onion for color and some cream towards the end, because my SO was late for dinner (to thin it out). You didn't state in your directions on where to add the medium onion... so, I diced it and sauteed, then added to the potato, seasonings and water. On the side, I served garlic bread and Saltines. Thank you for a warming meal. This was made for Spring PAC 2010.

I did cut this recipe in half & then shared it with a neighbor couple, however, I did use the full measure of diced ham! Also used lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P, & all agreed that this is A GREAT TASTING POTATO SOUP! Thanks, much for sharing the recipe!

My favorite cookbook is the ever trusted Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book stuffed in the shelves in of every womans kitchen for nearly 100yrs. I borrowed it from a friend-needless to say, I kept the cookbook and ditched the friend! LOL Baking is NOT my forte, however, after 20yrs in the torture chamber, I'm proud to say that I CAN bake a mean chocolate chip cookie and some fabulous breads during the holidays! Anything more than that & you're on your on for sure. My most popular dish w/the family is my Southern Potato Soup recipe. It is a family recipe. Please enjoy it's comfort in the Winter months.
