Paula @ Gracefilled Moments Soup Season is Here!
It’s that time of year again when the crisp autumn air starts to settle in, and nothing sounds more comforting than a warm bowl of soup. While I enjoy soup year-round, there’s something extra special about it on chilly fall days. One of my go-to soups is classic potato soup.
What’s your favorite soup? For me, soup season brings back nostalgic memories of my parents making a variety of soups while I was growing up. My best friend’s husband also makes an incredible potato soup that’s always a hit.
Today, I’m sharing a recipe for a quick and creamy potato soup. I usually prefer yellow potatoes for cooking, but this time I had russet potatoes on hand, so I decided to give them a try. I also typically add chopped carrots to my potato soup, but since I didn’t have any on hand, I left them out.
Let’s get cooking!
