Last night after dinner my hubby made a request for his dinner tonight - he wanted my potato soup. I just finished making it and it tastes so good. I am trying to wait until he gets in to have a bowl. I have made this so long that I have forgotten where I got the recipe. I guess that it doesn't really matter I always adapt it to our tastes anyway.

    In blender container process potatoes and turnips in batches until pureed. Return to saucepan, stir in cream and milk and cook about 5 minutes. You will have to watch this closely because it may scorch easily. I usually take out what I think that we will eat at one time and heat in microwave. You may add a little more milk if soup becomes too thick.
