Great stuff! It's rich and creamy and well-seasoned. I didn't mash the potatoes completely smooth. I used cornstarch instead of flour because it dissolves better. I'll be making this again; thanx for a delicious soup!

This was a wonderful addition to our Christmas Eve Festivities. I omitted the onion due to allergies and did not have any thyme on hand. My father gave it rave reviews and he doesn't comment unless it is really good! I will add this to my Best of Zaar so Far recipe book. Thanks, KCShell
