This is the same recipe I use except I add alot more onion, 1tsp. cayenne, .5 tsp paprika, 1.5 tsp.garlic powder, and 1 tsp. onion powder. I really don't measure - I'm guessing, but I think that sounds right. I also occasionally add chipotle powder when we are in the mood for some heat. My family loves this soup, it is definately our favorite.

thank you, thank you for posting this recipe! DD has flu or bad cold and loves potato soup. I have the chicken broth and will get the rest to make it for her.
