Mom’s Potato Soup

Is there anything better than soup made by your mama? I really don’t think so! My mom makes some of the best soups and I wanted to share with you her recipe for potato soup today. She is in town visiting us this week, helping me organize baby clothes, clean, and she’s even cooking for us! Yes, she’s a pure gem, I know! After working several hours at Starbucks today, I came home to the amazing aroma of my mom’s potato soup. My house just smelled like love! Maybe that’s the pregnancy hormones talking, I don’t know, but it was heavenly, and it tasted even better. Here’s the recipe for you.
