Well this month it was my turn to host so I had the main dish. I wasn't really sure what I was going to make. I'm not that adventurous of a cook, I like things that are 'no fail' and reliable! No goofy ingredients and no major processes to get the meal done! I explained this to one of my clients a couple of weeks ago and she told me of this WONDERFUL Potato soup recipe that she had and that she would bring it to me.
So I went and purchased the ingredients and set out to make it once I got home from work last Saturday. Thank goodness it was an easy recipe because I was late getting off of work and our friends were on their way over!
I'm glad to report that the Potato Soup was FABULOUS!!! It was a hit with everyone! Everyone wanted seconds, unfortunately even after I doubled the recipe there wasn't quite enough for all to have seconds! Luckily Danette brought yummy artichoke dip and bread and we had a fabulous Apple Crisp and vanilla ice cream dessert waiting for us!
Anyway, I wanted to share this yummy recipe with you! Believe me, if I can make this soup, YOU can make it! ;) ENJOY!
