Killer Potato Soup image

I've tried many potato soup recipes and most all of them have been pretty good. This one, however, it absolutely the best. It is truly a treat. All you need to go with it are some crusty rolls and a green salad and you have an excellent meal.

Loraine's Killer Potatoes image

These are so good..and they were my favorite potatoes when we went to Loraine and Lou's house. They were so good along with Lou's Smoked Turkey. The 8 of us called ourselves "The Licorice Gang" and did so many things together. So many happy memories and so much good food and so much laughter.
