Delicious!! I scaled back the recipe using 10 large potatoes. I also had to use bouillon cubes to make the broth so I ended up w/4 cups. I didn't have onions or chives but I used the dried, minced ones. I added about 1-1/2 c. water (in addition to the 4 cups added to 4 bouillon cubes.) I then used 3 tbsp. of butter, 1/2 c. flour with 3/4 c. milk, 1/4 block of Velveeta & 3/4 c. sour cream. It still made quite a bit - approximately 10 cups of soup! Feeds 6-8!
