Creamy Irish Potato Soup
Popular with locals in Ireland, the Irish potato soup recipe is well worth trying. It has been a part of Ireland’s custom foods for many years and is still traditionally made as it would many years ago. With Ireland not having the greatest of weathers, this recipe dish is mostly served on a cold wet day, typical for Ireland. Even though we have lots of different dishes for a cold winter’s day, this dish can be created any time of the year. A traditional Irish potato soup made much more delicious because of its creamy blend and milk added to the fragrant chicken broth. With the chicken broth and milk blended together with a food processor, it made both flavors intertwine making it an irresistible soup for dinner!
