Ohhh!  I love potato soup.  It is my fav.  Yummy! I always bake a pan of cornbread to serve with it.  Baked in a cast iron skillet.

Don't forget the Curry Powder, it makes all the difference!!

OK guys take this recipe don't make soup make a very thick stew, put on a pastery crust, fold in 1/2. Bake till brown. You now have Pasties. A popular food in Michigan's UP, where there was a large population of Welch miners.

Is there anything I substitute for mutton? This sounds like a great crock pot recipe! Thanks for posting it!

In the UP they make beef and chicken. Beef is the one you see the most; guess it's because they had to get rid of that blue ox.

Stop it!!! You're making me hungry

Potato soup has always been served in my family and with my close circle of friends..Just can't beat it when it comes to eating something that will 'stick to your ribs' and keep you content until you finish that great book on a starry eve ~smile~ My Papa Bluefeather always adds about 1-2 cans of beer to his stock..we don't use meat in it but, there isn't one vegetable that isn't allowed to go into a big pot of potato soup ~smile~ And just when it is served to you in that deep bowl, we always shred a fresh cheese of our choice on top of it! Talk about yummy! ~grin~

Your making me drool freekenny!

I love potatoes, and I love soup...I may have to go make some
