I went home to visit my mom this past weekend, and I bugged her a little bit to pass on some of her kitchen wisdom. While I was aiming for some more difficult stuff, what exactly I’m not quite sure, she decided to give me a classic instead— her creamy potato soup recipe!
I absolutely love my moms potato soup, it’s perfectly rich and creamy and overall just delicious. Plus, now that its cold outside here, soup is the perfect treat to warm me up.
