Yum. I added some salt since I used low sodium chicken stock. I also used butter instead of margarine. I had never made potato soup before, and this was so simple. I had no evaporated milk, so I used regular 2%. Thanks for a great recipe!

I served this to my father-in-law. He is very critical of my cooking. He pronounced this potato soup the best he ever had. High praises indeed. Mick

Potato-lover's heaven in a bowl. Simple, in this case, does NOT mean boring! These 7 ingredients make one heck of a great potato soup! I made this as written. I used my immersion blender to pree the soup (but not completely smooth). The soup was thick and absolutely delicious! I garnish with green onions. A keeper for sure; thanx!
