DAD'S POTATO SOUP
I grew up on this. It is a major component of my "comfort food arsenal". It's NOT a heavy, thick potato soup, but it's very satisfying. This is a good recipe to keep on-hand when money gets tight. It will feed a hungry family of 4 for almost nothing.

zeray65@hotmail.frI'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk. The soup turned out great! I couldn't even tell that it was dairy-free.

zidan19@yahoo.comThis soup is way too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt. I'm going to have to make it again with less salt.
