Is this served warm or cold?

You include the cooking water in the soup? I feel like it would be better to strain it and then add a vegetable of chicken broth, but I do wonder how much. And then do you chill it? Wait for the potatoes to chill? Is this cold or hot? Would love to know from anyone who has made this.

Is this served warm or cold?

I didn't have any dairy so I used chicken broth instead of water. Blended it with a Smart Stick. Served it warm. Lovely.
