Potato Soup I

This is my sister's original recipe for potato soup. At first, when I read the recipe, I thought that it would be bland and watery. Boy, was I proved wrong! It is very cheesy with an excellent flavor! I highly recommend you try this soup. It tastes absolutely delicious with french bread, so I would suggest serving this with my French Bread Rolls, also found on this website. Happy eating!
