The ONLY recipe my father ever had. NOTE: I didn't say HE ever MADE it; that was my mother's job! A pure potato soup, no cheese, bacon, dill or other exotic ingredients. A true peasant recipe.

I loved this! It was kind of like eating mashed potatoes in soup form - in a good way. I really enjoyed the simplicity of it. I've tried all of those loaded-baked-potato type of soups and, while some were very good, I prefer this one. It's also very inexpensive to make - a nice bonus. Thanks for a great recipe!Reply
