Potato Soup

January 18, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is a quick and simple soup that is perfect for a miserable day. I first made it to use up some potatoes I had when I had very little else on hand.

As with most soups you can store this in your fridge for a few days or you can freeze it. It is always best to freeze in individual portions.
