This sounds like the Thiriot recipe. I have made this before (given to me by JaNae!) and it is yummy! I thought of this as soon as she said potato soup!- So I'm glad you posted it, Kristen! I like to have baked potatoes one night, then later in the week have the soup with leftover baked potatoes.

I'm going to give it a try as well. I make a creamy potato caraway soup that I'll post--when I find my recipe. . .
