Delicious Potato Soup

About a year ago I discovered potato soup. I'd never had it before that, but for some reason I decided to try making it. And I love it! Every time I make it, I eat way too much because I just can't stop because it is So Delicious! Wow! This is the recipe I use. It's also the only potato soup I've ever had, but I can't imagine it getting much better than this.

This particular picture is a batch I made without ham. I didn't have any on hand, so I made it without and just added a little salt to make up for it. It was also delicious, but I like it best with a little ham.

Give it a try!
