Snow and The World's Best Potato Soup!

It's Snowing!

I thought I would go all winter without seeing snow, but I was wrong!

And, we all know that cold, snowy days call for potato soup!

Let me just say that this is the BEST potato soup I have ever had!

(Yes, even better than O'Charley's!)

Potato Cheddar Soup

*recipe courtesy Imperfections*

4 medium sized potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 stalks of celery ( I left it out because I HATE celery)

1/2 onion, chopped

1 1/2 cups of chicken broth (or enough to cover the veggies)

1 tsp dried parsley

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper ( I will definately cut back a little on this next time!)

2 tsp flour

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup milk

1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Throw poatoes, celery, onion, broth, parsley, salt and pepper in large pot and simmer until the vegetables are tender. (I added about a 1/4 tsp of garlic powder!)

In a seperate bowl, mix together cream, milk, and flour then add to soup mixture and cook until soup becomes thick (this can take a while). Stir in cheese and serve once melted! I browned some bacon and added it, also.

Adam was impressed and he really isn't a potato soup person.

He even said it was nice and hearty!

It was so good that I ate three bowls yesterday!

When I make it again, I will definately double the recipe!

We only had enough left for one more bowl!

I also made it with CopyKat recipes version of Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits

2 cups of Bisquick

2/3 cup milk

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 stick of butter, melted

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Mix bisquick, milk and cheese until well blended.

Roll into balls and bake at 450 for 8- 10 minutes.

I usually get 9 out of one batch :)

Mix butter and garlic powder and pour over biscuits. Let Cool!
