This is an excellent recipe. Quick and easy. The ingredients and preparation method are very much what I remember my mother making. I followed the recipe as written except for increasing the quantity from 2 servings to 4 and riced the potatoes instead of mashing. I feel the soup would freeze well by following the directions through and including step 5. Freeze in portion sizes as desired. When ready to use remove from freezer, thaw and add hot milk to desired consistency, heat slowly to keep the soup from scorching to the bottom of the pan. Season to taste and garnish when ready to serve. Thank you for sharing. Your recipe has brought back fond memories.
