Potato Soup
Made with simple ingredients, this Potato Soup is nutritious, flavorful and perfect for busy weeks!
Hi Friends!
I realize that some of you may be approaching the end of soup weather, but it’s been raining here for pretty much 5 days straight and to me, rain = soup weather. Plus, I happily eat soup year round, but that’s a whole other thing.
Anyways, I wanted to pop in and share this Potato Soup recipe with you guys because I’ve made it several times over the past few weeks.
When I first made this soup, I intended to just make it with white potatoes, but I didn’t have enough of them so I had to throw in a sweet potato. It ended up turning out well so I keep making it like that, but you could use all white potatoes or all sweet potatoes if you wanted to!
Here’s how you make it:

You could easily make it vegetarian by omitting the bacon, but I think it adds great flavor!
