Oooh, I'm so glad you liked it, Keith. I changed the particulars above
(peeling the potatoes) to reflect the desires of the OP. I just scrub
the new potatoes and cook them. Not much to peel off and I don't
bother. Another comment for you to tuck away is that this holds up
really well. I made my most recent batch nearly a week ago, I think,
and there was about 2/3 of a cup left over that's been sitting in the
fridge since then. I had it at lunch and say it didn't suffer a bit.
That's good information to have if I need to be ahead of the game when
the kids show up in a month or so.

Did you include the chicken base? I really think that makes the
difference. Mine tastes an awful lot like what Cub is offering in the
deli. :-)
