New England Potato Soup image

While on our honeymoon in New England, my husband and I walked into an old country store and were immediately swept off our feet by the aroma of soup that was cooking. We each ordered a bowl and found it to be absolutely delicious! We tried to persuade the cook to give us the recipe, but she said it was a secret. Upon returning home, I experimented until I came up with this recipe, which is very close.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thin. I think I should have used less water.

This soup is a little bland for my taste. I think it needs more salt and pepper.
