  1. i added a lg. clove garlic,only one lg. carrot(more and you would have tasted only carrot) used milk instead of cream, add liquid with caution as there is too much liquid, also used 1 medium onion
     
  2. Velvet-smooth it is! Loved the the texture. This a comforting, tummy-warming soup. I made it just as written, but added a little garlic and garnished with green onions. I will make this again for sure. Thanx for a great soup recipe.
     
  3. There is too much carrot in this recipe! I would recommend only putting one. I followed this recipe and my soup was orange.
     
  4. This is the perfect potato soup. Lovely texture and delicious flavor. Thank you for sharing such a nice recipe. Will definitely make this again and again!
     
  5. We really enjoyed this soup. I was looking for a creamy potato soup that didn't have thickeners adding extra calories, and this fit the bill. I sued 1/2 C each half & half & 2% milk. Great with sammies or even a hotdog! Thanks a bunch, it's a keeper DancingCook.

  1. This was great! I substituted the heavy cream for 1 1/2 cup whole milk and added 1/4 tsp fresh thyme leaves and 2/3 lb cubed boneless ham, then doubled the recipe. When serving, I threw a pinch of shredded sharp cheddar cheese into each bowl. My husband, myself and my 5 children loved it! When it was time for bedtime snack, they finished it off!
