This recipe was brought over from Poland by test kitchen director Ruth Cousineau's grandmother. After watching the potato soup disappear from our test kitchen in a matter of minutes, we have a feeling your family will love it, too.

This recipe appears in our winter Pescatarian Comfort Food Meal Plan.
