Happy 2012! I think it will take me awhile to get used to saying 2012, but I like it. I am excited for the New Year. We recently asked on our Facebook page what recipes you would like to see in 2012. Several people asked for soup more soup recipes. We love making soup and we are always happy to meet our readers requests, so today we are sharing one of our favorite soup recipes-Potato Rosemary Soup.
When we brought Caleb home from the hospital, life was a little crazy. We were lacking sleep and still adjusting to having a baby in the house. Cooking dinner was not on our to do list. We were eating a lot of sandwiches, freezer meals we had previously made, and cereal. One night we got a call from our good friend, Janette, who told us she was coming over to cook us dinner. It was music to our ears. She is a fabulous cook and knows her way around the kitchen-especially our kitchen. She is a designer and helped us with our kitchen remodel. She is the best!
She made us Potato Rosemary Soup, salad, bread, and pumpkin cupcakes for dessert. We were spoiled! Everything was delicious, especially the soup. Luckily, she shared the recipe. We have been making the soup ever since. It has become a staple in our house. It is so easy to make and very comforting and filling. The potato soup is hearty and thick with a hint of rosemary. It also has feta cheese which adds a nice creamy texture. We like to make a big pot so we can enjoy leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day.
Warm up with a bowl of comforting Potato Rosemary Soup. It is the perfect meal for a cold winter’s day.
