Rich Viennese Potato Soup
"This is a smooth soup, and can be changed by using different broth in the recipe for a different taste sensation. You can make this vegetarian by using vegetable broth or stock instead of the beef or chicken broth. If you do that, then I recommend using buttermilk in place of the cream."
