Sopa De Papas (Potato Soup)

puppitypup's Note:

This soup can be served hot as a traditional soup, but I also love it served cold for lunch on a hot day. It's mild - not spicy at all, but with lots of flavor.

This was delicious! I didnt have any taco sauce, so used salsa instead. Also, didnt have any sour cream so just added extra milk. Thanks for sharing!

This was a tasty soup but a little bland. The salsa a little flavor but I think I like the traditional potato soup better.

What a delicious soup this is! I'd never made a potato soup before and this recipe looked like a good one to try. I served this warm, and it was a nice and hearty soup. I loved the little tang the taco sauce and cumin gave, and I just wish I'd doubled the recipe so I could have had some more for lunch tommorow. Thanks for posting this yummy recipe -- it's one I'll make often.
