It's not as flavorful as the beatroot soup but I'd say its tasty in its own way.
Happy stomach happy life! I had a party in my mouth after a sip of this soup.
Loved this cheesy dish to much, easily one of my favorite soups out there!
Kinda plain but I liked it more than the corn soup.
The potatos were so cheesy and gripped onto the seasoning perfectly.
