"The beautiful table setting with a tureen of this creamy delicious potato soup along with a great selection of meat, cheese and vegetable tray made for an awesome lunch on that long ago day. We loved that soup so unlike any potato soup I had ever tasted and of course I begged the recipe which shares a place in our family cookbook. In loving memory of that beautiful awesome Chef Extraordinaire who shared both a fabulous lunch and the recipe"
