This sounds delicious. Have made my copy and will try it soon. Thanks for sharing. My favorite soup to make on a cold day is a Potato Soup recipe that my mother always made. Comfort food at it’s finest. It always reminds me of my mother when I make it and I top it with shredded cheddar. You question brought back a very pleasant memory.
