The Best Potato Soup Recipe

This Recipe is floating around FB somewhere.  They all say "Share this so it will be posted to your timeline."  Well, where the heck does it go when you are looking for it?  Somewhere ELSE in cyber space, never to be heard from again, so I'm posting it here for my reference, though if you would like to try it out, by all means, do so.  This is a family favorite, and even my husband (who is usually skeptical when it comes to eating leftovers) will fight to take some to work the next day.
