Moldovan Cream of Potato Soup

From RecipeWiki. This recipe is also categorized as Romanian. Servings are estimated. I have not made this yet, and imagine I might add a bay leaf and some pepper. The original source said to use "some" of the cooking liquid, so that part is a bit unclear, sorry.

Instead of straining the potatoes, I just boiled the without a lid until the potatoes were cooked & the liquid reduced enough. It worked. :) We love this soup! It makes barely enough for 4. The 3 of us each had a large serving with only a few mouthfuls left. It's thick & rich & creamy. And it's easy! Made for Ramadan Tag 2012.Reply

Yummy comfort soup!!! This isn't a soup that knocks your socks off, but it is very comforting and mild in flavor. I made this recipe as written, although scaled it back for just the 2 of us. To me, I can see adding some more seasonings, celery, bacon, cheddar etc. for more flavor and to make it a soup as a meal, but this is great as a simple pre-meal soup. I didn't serve the soup with toast but did homemade toasted croutons to the top!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe duonyte, very much enjoyed it!!! Made for PRMR Tag Game.Reply
