Rave Reviews ~ Cream of Potato Soup

So I made a huge pot of this soup at the Peaslee's. Laurie kinda looked at me skeptically when she saw me starting with chicken broth as the base. She wondered how it would be potato soup with chicken broth.

Well, all in all, it turned out really yummy!! All the kids liked it, Lolo liked it too. I must say it wasn't precisely like Outback's potato soup, but it was really close. Since I know I can closely copycat their recipe, I'll be making this more often and avoiding paying $5 for a small bowl of there soup.

As a suggestion, I would cut back on the chicken broth by at least one can. It's not that it did anything to ruin the flavor, but there was more cream than potato. Or you could just add more potatoes I suppose too. I did a double batch and added five pounds of potatoes and we still had more "broth" leftover. You could also cut back on the butter. It was very prominent and while I love butter, I think we could make it slightly healthier if you did exact amounts of flour/butter.

Let me know if you tried the recipe and what you think.
