This is my mom’s recipe, and I don’t remember where she said she got it.
What I do know is that when she made it, she would use her biggest stock pot, and it would all be eaten up in one day, it’s that good.
She would make this on cold winter days when “the boys” – my brothers, were working outside. It’s my all time favorite potato soup I’ve ever eaten, and nobody puts it together like mom.
This my mom’s recipe cut in half, because it’s plenty for our little family.
Enjoy!
