Notes
- This potato soup is made with evaporated milk and many thanks go to hyjinx for sharing the recipe.
- Serve potato soup cold during the summer! Vichyssoise is cold potato soup!
- Do not use potatoes that have a green tinge to them, they are past their prime!
- The soup is best consumed 2 or 3 days after it is made!
- The flavor of potato soup is enhanced by any buttered sweet roll or dinner roll.
