My husbands family had a huge Wisc. potato farm. We would often visit them in the fall, and help on the conveyer belt sorting rocks and potatoes. That was back breaking fun ... for a couple days! This is a soup that I often made with the sack of potatoes we would bring brought back home. I LOVE potatoes, and I accdiently married into his wonderful family! If you have never tasted a "fresh" potato soup.. this is for you. Occasionally I will add two diced carrots in step #1 for color. Please try this recipe, for that wonderful fresh farm taste.
