Today I am sharing with you my Creamy Potato Soup Recipe that has been in the works for some time now. I am a huge fan of a good potato soup and I have tried many recipes over the years and they just weren't that perfect soup that I have been looking for. After so many failed attempts I began putting together my own recipe and I now have that perfect Creamy Potato Soup that I had been looking for. I hope you have a chance to try it out through the next few cold months and enjoy it just as much as I do.

Oh my, your soup sounds so good (a bit fattening tho)I'll have to see if I can find some less fattening substitutes for some of ingredients.
ReplyDeleteI am a tater soup lover. I have a good recipe from my Mother and her Mother, haven't made it in long time.
Just going to have to try yours first. (Cause I can't find family recipe). Been looking for some different foods to make, getting tired of same old stuff. We like one pot meals, they go further and are usually pretty nutritious, tasty and not fattening, just healthy.
We're two seniors that don't have a lot of money (let alone "any" after paying bills now days),that really enjoy eating. Sure glad you posted this soup as it's cold here (west of Grand Junction, CO) and snow all over the place with more to come in next day or two. Tallyho
Thank you. Yes the heavy cream is fattening but I was looking for a thick creamy soup so I knew it was going to be fattening. Its one of those soups that you only have every once in awhile :)
DeleteHope you have a chance to try it. I am sure you can change the heavy cream for milk to have less fat.
Just a thought on a substitution for heavy cream. I almost always use evaporated milk instead. You can get cans of that either low fat or fat free.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea. Thank you for that tip :)
DeleteThis looks delicious, a bit indulgent yes! But delicious!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing x
