I think I would do this with all stock and no water-bouillon, perhaps? Also, am wondering how this might be with the addition of a bit of cabbage ... Thanks!

Bouillon might be a little salty, but a couple of cans of reduced-salt broth (which is what I have) ought to work. I'm not a big cabbage person myself but I expect it would be an appropriate addition. *g* That's the nice thing about soup, it's very forgiving!

plus potato soup is cheap and cheerful!

Indeed! As the cut tag said, the carrot makes it a very pretty golden color, most cheerful.

You're welcome! It's not really quite enough on its own -- needs bread/salad/etc. -- but is very tasty.

I was actually looking for a classic American cream soup, but this does sound quite good, and less fattening than with all that cream.

It has a very nice flavor, and yes, doubtless less fattening. ;-)

The family loved it and with a little salt it was delicious!

Glad you liked it! We're pretty low-salt in my household, but I can see wanting a bit more here.
