After reading other comments, I cut the celery salt and parsley in half, but less than a full tablespoon was still overpowering. I'd start with a teaspoon and work my way up. The tarragon adds a nice twist. I wish I had used chicken stock rather than vegetable, as I found the flavor of the Knorrs stock cube excessive as well. Pretty tasty, but way over-salty for my tastes, and I would suggest letting people add the black pepper to taste while serving, as it also was intense. One other change I did was to finely dice and brown a strip of bacon, and saute the garlic (diced) and onion in that with salt a a pinch of sugar. That worked nicely.

I love this potato soup. I have never been completely satisfied with other recipes but decided to give it a whirl. The right consistency, and the flavors-mmm. Tarragon made this extra special. I didn't have half and half so used whole milk and added a little butter, then served with crusty bread. This recipe is a keeper.

I subsituted the half and half with heavy cream because I had this in the fridge and did not have dried tarragon. I also reserved a few potatoes. Mashed to consistency and then added the few reserved potatoes to the mashed consistency & topped of with a handful of cheddar cheese : ) Delish!!! Delish!!! Delish!!! : )
