  1. This is the best potato soup recipe I followed it to a tee just added carrots. Very tasty and yummy. Thank u
     
  2. Do you cut (cube/dice) the potatoes?
     
  3. I let my potatoes cook a little longer. I didn't have many clumps of potato, I like it creamier. This tasted just like when my mamaw made it when I was a kid.

  4. I made this soup over the weekend (3-10-12) We both said that it was the best potato soup we have ever eaten. What I did a little different was cooked up my onions, celery and diced up ham in about 3tbs of butter until tender as my potatoes were cooking.. plus I added garlic salt. It was a delicious meal. For crackers we used HOT AND SPICY CHEESE-IT... OUT OF THIS WORLD.... YUMMY!<br/>Pam Banks...Virginia
