My whole family loved this soup including my vegetarian teenage daughter, and my meat loving husband. I did serve it warm though. I have never enjoyed cold soup. Makes a good dinner on it's own or with a grilled cheese. Next time I will peel the potatoes first though. It was unneccesary to do the extra work of peeling hot potatoes!
