New England Potato Soup
SUBMITTED BY:
Priscilla Beaujon
"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."

delicious! as always, trying to make things a little healthy, i cut out the butter (used cooking spray) and added about a cup of shredded carrots and a package of frozen broccoli florets that i cooked and then pureed. after the carrots and potato were boiled soft, i blended the whole mixture in the blender- it was so creamy, i only had to add 1 1/2 cups of 1% milk. throw a little low fat shredded cheddar on top-yummy!

Excellent! All the richness of a cream soup without the heavy cream. I used another reviewer's idea of adding a grated carrot for extra nutrition and color. Also, since I didn't have any ham, before sauteing the onion, celery mixture, I fried four pieces of bacon in my stock pan, poured off the grease, and continued with the recipe, adding the cooked, crumbled bacon with the peas at the end.

This was really yummy! I added a shredded peeled carrot, a second can of broth, 6 potatoes, used olive oil rather than butter, omitted the salt and doubled the rosemary since I didn't have thyme. Will make this again - thank you for posting!

This is really great soup. I added more potatoes than the recipe calls for so I needed to add another can of soup also. Easy and delicious -- definitely a keeper!

I followed the recipe exactly, and it was delicious! The next time I make it, I may increase the flour and milk combination to make it a touch more thicker. But believe me, it was fine with the ingredients given.

Wow!! SO delicious!! I made the following changes: (1) cooking spray instead of butter; (2) substituted veggie broth; (3) used 5 small-ish golden potatoes; (4) added sage; (5) 1c lite soy milk and 1.5c non-dairy cream substitute; (6) no ham; (7) added carrots and brocolli to the original onion/celery saute; (8) after combining the saute to the boiled potatoes and spices I took about 1/3 of the mixture out, pureed it in the food processor and added it back to the pot. All of this = one of my favorite recipes!!

I think this is a great recipe. The flavors are wonderful. I think the secret is cooking the potatoes in the chicken broth which gives the soup more flavor. I used low sodium chicken broth, and I used yukon gold potatoes. Yukon golds have a sweeter softer texture and they are wonderful in this soup. I did think that perhaps using 1/3 cup flour might have been too much as my soup was rather thick. That was easy to fix just by adding a bit more milk. I would recommend anyone that is unsure about the spices to just start with using half, and then when your potatoes are done, you can taste the soup and see what you think, before adding more spices. I would also recommend making sure that you are using chicken broth that you have taste tested first, as this is the base of your soup. I thought the recipe was great just as written, with the exception that perhaps there was too much flour.

We were all very pleased with this soup. The only thing I changed was I smashed the potatos a little at the very end. This made it a little more creamy.
