"A creamy, rich family favorite from my Grandmother and mother. Note: When warming up leftovers, the soup will be thick and may need more broth added to it."

I was looking for an easy potato soup recipe and I came across this one. It was really simple and I had all the ingredients at home. My husband loved it. He didn't only have seconds but had thirds. And even my picky kids ate it. I'm definitely making this again.

We really loved this soup. The only alteration I made was to add 1/2 lb diced and cooked bacon; just stirred it in right before serving. This was super easy to prepare and tasted great on an unusually snowy day in Spring. :) Thanks for sharing, Jessa! Made & enjoyed for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef.
