Got any pictures? How'd it come out? It sounds really good. Is it brothy though or does the milk make it creamy? I really love a baked potato soup, is it that type of consistency? I'm hungry!!!
My husband loves anything with potato. I think I shall make this and surprise him
I LOVE potatoes. My mother used to joke that I must secretly be from Ireland. I will definately try ths recipe.
We love soup in our family, especially home made. I started making lots of soups when my first child was little. It is a great way to sneak good veggies into food!
I just got a bunch of potatoes and was looking for something different to make. This sounds great.
Sounds good! I love potato soup!
Looks good, I haven’t had potato soup in a long time.
I add a pinch of ginger to mine.
I’ve been looking for a good and easy potato soup recipe. Snow is on the ground today in NY and soup sounds really good.
I’ve never made potato soup. But now my husband has come home from the hospital with a prescription for bland food for at least three days, so I will make him this (with a bit of adjustment). Thanks for giving me something to vary his diet!
We like potato soup here at our house. Sometimes I change the recipe to add bacon or cheese to mine. This recipe sounds delicious and more classy . will have to make it . thanks for the recipe
