"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"

This is really a delicious soup! Creamy and filled with delightful flavor. Followed all as directed, but added a bit more of the thyme that I had dried from last years garden and a tad more dried basil. We also topped it with cheese or swirled it right into the soup. We all loved this extraordinary soup and it will be made again. Thanks so much, Gerry, for sharing. Made it for Billboard Tag game, played here on this site.

This is absolutely the best potato soup I have ever had! I made it the day before eating just so that all the flavours would come through. Made one change in the technique. I riced all the potatoes as I did not have any of the instant. The soup was so creamy and delish! Thank you Gerry for another wonderful keeper! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
