Loaded Potato Soup

Looking for the perfect potato soup recipe? Look no further as you’ve found it!

I love soup, especially on a cold day, but we haven’t had many cold days here lately. Please don’t take that as a complaint because I’m not complaining in the least bit. I make this soup once or twice a year and everyone always loves it.

For a lower carb meal we have been using turnips and/or cauliflower in place of the potatoes. Continue reading “Loaded Potato Soup” →

Crockpot Taco Soup

This is really good with a salad and breadsticks.
