Potato Soup

This is an all time favorite recipe that I can create from memory.  My best dishes are created when I use what we have in the kitchen on hand.  Today I had a bag of fresh Idaho potatoes, bacon defrosting from the freezer box and some fresh parsley from the greenhouse.

  2. Add to the pot butter, cheese and the cream cheese.
  3. Add broth  – and seasons.

I hope this recipe becomes a favorite on your Autumn dinning table. ENJOY!
