Looks delicious, but this is def not a Hungarian potato soup. (Born and bred in Hungary.)

This is a delicious, easy to make soup that I'll make again. I left out the sour cream, but otherwise followed the recipe as written.

This is one of the best potato soup recipes I've ever made and I know for sure this is one I'll be making this winter to warm us up! I also blended the soup so did not add the flour/water. It thickens up great and is so delicious! Thanks for such an awesome simple recipe!

Every year on the anniversary of my father's death I celebrate his life with a Hungarian feast. This was the soup I made this year. As I do not mix meat (chicken) with dairy for religious reasons, I didn't use the sour cream. I also didn't thicken the soup with flour. Instead I pureed it all together right in the pot with my immersion blender. This soup was delicious. I served it with Recipe #328388. My father used to love eating this soup all the time. Thanks for a warming soup, both physically and mentally.

Excellent soup! Unlike any other potato soup I have had--and equally delicious. The dill and paprika make it special and the sour cream smooths the flavors together. I will make this again!
