Enjoyed this soup very much & even made the whole batch, although it was just for the 2 of us! Something I'll be making again, too, for sure! However, don't discard the scooped out potato haves, but rather butter the inside & bake them briefly in the oven until slightly crisp! Then either enjoy them just that way, or find a suitable dip or a chicken, tuna or seafood spread & snack on 'em! Thanks for sharing the soup recipe!
