I like how this comfort soup brings me good memories of my mom's delicious homecooked meals. Using pureed potato instead of flour to thicken, makes this soup healthy and hearty. A good perk-up, cheer-up soup for those down with the flu... This is a special soup to warm up the spirit on a cold day. -Winnie
