This soup differs from other potato soups because of the lemon. I liked it, the picky one did not. So you might want to consider adding the lemon individually to serving bowls, if you think you may have a similar situation. Easy to make, and the ingredients are always handy.

Wonderful soup! It has a nice silky texture and is the perfect thcikness. The scallions add a nice delicate onion flavor. I used my immersion blender to blend it almost completely smooth. The lemon juice added a nice touch. Thanx for a great soup!

I would give this soup 10 stars if I could. So elegant and rich. My 14 year old made this with ease. The only thing she did different was not add the lemon since we had none on hand nor did she puree the soup as we wanted the soup a little chunky tonight with the rainy weather outside. Thanks for another great recipe Carla!
