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.

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