None of my stores carry watercress in their produce dept. - 11/9/08

I love watercress in any form, especially soup, but I don't see why anyone would ever want to buy canned potatoes! They have an awful texture & taste. Much better to boil up a few fresh ones & mash them into it. I added onions as well, & garnished with sour cream. - 11/9/08

Good as is if you're stuck with lots of canned good which I often am or great if you make totally fresh. I add heat to everything, but I love the watercress. - 11/9/08

Fantastic! I used homemade veg stock and added onion, garlic. Served w/whole wheat toast points instead of crackers. Very satisfying! - 11/9/08

Not great and hubby would not eat it. Some sour cream improved the taste. - 12/20/07

I added a small onion and a garlic clove. I put them in the blender with some of the soup and got them as fine as possible. Other than that addition, I made half of the recipe. It's pretty good. I froze portions to eat a half hour before a meal. - 12/1/07

I made this with many changes, I cooked diced potatoes in my own chicken broth until they were mushy, I added the chopped watercress. I also did a quick calculation, and had 25 more calories, but 1/10 the sodium - 12/1/07

For a vegetrarian version, I replaced the chicken broth with vegetable broth, I used fresh potatoes and I added a dalop of low fat sour cream. Delicious! :-) - 11/30/07
