Southwest-Inspired Potato Soup
I just love soup. It satisfies so many needs: the need for warmth, the need for a filling meal, the need to use up ingredients. One of my favorite soups to make is my grandmother’s potato soup, which utilizes simple ingredients to feed a crowd. This is a riff on her belly-warming comfort soup. Pin This!

I try to emulate her tactics using wholesome ingredients.
