A Tale of Two Soups

In honor of Julia Child, I decided to make her potato soup. It was the first recipe that Julie Powell made from the cookbook. Learn about Julie and Julia here, or better yet, read the book. It's good. So I was excited to make it. At the same time, I decided to make some "Market Street" Clam Chowder.(Google it if you want to)
Both soups are made with a potato base. Here they are:

Julie Child's "Potage Parmentier "

and the clam chowder.

My opinion-- NO CONTEST.
The Market Street Clam Chowder is way better tasting.
As to my presentation:
Where is Ali when I need her???
