Cilantro Potato Soup

---

Something i had a few times while growing up --at a neighbor's and at avo's house. where i grew up, half the neighbors were from the azores, so it was good, good eating. it's not a recipe that needs exact measurements, but this is about how i do it :) obviously don't make it if you don't like cilantro, but if you do...mmmmmmmmm :) for a vegetarian version, just use veggie broth. whichever you use, make sure it's a good quality. the ingredients are so simple it needs to be a good quality broth.
