Soup season is here! Soup season is here! SOUP SEASON IS HERE!
I get that being cold blows. But being hot does too! And you can’t eat soup when you’re hot – that’s no fun for anyone. So like almost all things that are awesome, there’s a little bad with a lot of good. Soup is the good to cold weather. One of them at least.
I realize there are a million versions of totally awesome potato soup out there. This is my simple, need to make something hearty and fast version. Minimal chopping. Few ingredients. Happy bellies. Sometimes that’s all you need – and when it is, this soup is here for you.
I am up for any and all quick soup recipes. If you have a great one to try out please share! I may even go postal on it and share!
Happy soup season!
