I don't measure for any soup, the pot I choose is my measure, when the
pot is full everything is perfectly measured. If your potatoes take
too long to cook dice them smaller. However I rarely include potatoes
in soups, there are other starchs I prefer. Last night's dinner was a
12 egg potato cheese omelet, we'll eat the other half tonight.
Sometimes it gets diced SPAM.
