I had a friend share her Potato Soup recipe with me recently and planned on making it last weekend...but wouldn't you know that I'd end up leaving it on my desk at work!!! So I searched through by cook books and found this one. I made this last Saturday and Rocky liked it so much he ate 3 bowls!!!! (If I did that btw I'd gain 10 lbs) So here it is in all of it's wonderful tastyness:
