I love making soup - there's just something comforting about it. This was a very easy and yummy soup. Don't be tempted to add more salt - I did and it really doesn't need it at all. I used the bacon grease (not butter) and left out the scallions because I didn't have any. Very enjoyable!

    This soup is delicious! Great for a warming lunch on a cool day. I did use canned mushrooms because I didnt have fresh but know it would be much better with fresh. Also, I used onion chives leftover from my garden because I didn't have scallions.

    Had shallots that needed using & added with onions. Had no mushrooms & didn't miss them. Recommend "blooming" paprika in butter before adding broth. If using canned broth, needs no salt. Had a lot of potatoes & added extra broth. Very forgiving of proportions. Good combination of flavors. Doesn't need the creams. Quick, easy & tasty!

    Wonderful and a great way to get rid of some leftover mashed potatoes. I omitted the mushrooms and used bacon drippings to saute the onions. Butter would probably be more to my tastes. Seasoning is just right. Used about 3 cups of leftover garlic mashed potatoes and had a great bowl of soup for lunch the next day. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
