RECIPE BY: KITTENCAL

I make this often in the cold months it's a very tasty potato chowder. All ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste. If you want a richer soup add in 1/2 cup whipping cream and use only 1-1/2 cups half and half.

    A great winters soup recipe! I pureed 3/4 of my veg only leaving a few chucky bits (family's pref), skipped the cream, using only milk and since I pureed the veg I had no need for adding the flour to thicken. A real tasty recipe...thanks for sharing!!
