Potato Soup

Potato soup has become one of our comfort foods especially during the Fall and Winter Months.  I had been waiting until the weather cooled down before making it.  The kids were so excited!  Potato soup is one of those foods that I’ve made so often I just dump in the ingredients I have on hand. … [continue reading]
