New England Potato Soup image

While on our honeymoon in New England, my husband and I walked into an old country store and were immediately swept off our feet by the aroma of soup that was cooking. We each ordered a bowl and found it to be absolutely delicious! We tried to persuade the cook to give us the recipe, but she said it was a secret. Upon returning home, I experimented until I came up with this recipe, which is very close.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The soup was still delicious.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk. The soup turned out great!

This soup is way too salty. I think I accidentally added too much salt.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some additional seasonings.
