This was the best potato soup I've had. Very tasty and filling. I used whole milk instead of half & half, and I boiled potatos and shredded them in the food processor. Turned out great!

Took a chance on this recipe and I was glad I did. It is the best potato soup ever. My family loved it. I will definitely be making it again. Make sure you let it simmer for 30 minutes like the directions state. That's when the flavors come together.
