I’ve used Rochelle’s Potato Soup recipe of my sister-in-law’s since my kids were little… they LOVE it! (we all love it!) It’s pretty simple to throw together. We like to have Rochelle’s Potato Soup in the winter when it’s cold outside and just feel like snuggling up to a warm bowl of soup! It’s great in bread bowls too… just the right consistency 🙂
Thanks to Rochelle for sharing this recipe with me all those years ago… it’s definitely a long time family favorite! Make this Potato Soup recipe a favorite of your families too!! (this one has a Jake score of “10” by the way)
