  4. Hold warm until 5 minutes before serving, then add the cream and cucumber.
  5. Simmer gently until cucumber is tender, but still has texture (about 5 minutes).

Can't wait to try this. My family loves potatoes and especially potato soup. My mother-in-law was Irish and made the best potato soup. I alway use russet potatoes. Is there a special reason to use red potatoes?


Russet potatoes are better for baking, red potatoes are good for salads and soups. If you have russets on hand you can use them and it will still taste fine.


This sounds so good!
