I'd love to try this recipe, but my question is, are you using the potato skins in the soup?

Yes, you are using the potato skins in this particular soup. You can peel the potatoes for a smoother texture, but potato skins do contain a lot of fiber and other nutrients. Hope this helps! - FaveHealthyRecipes.com Editor
