That potato soup with dumplings had to be the best soup I’ve ever eaten. I’m going to freeze it so if I ever get sick, I will have something fantastic to eat. This soup will heal you no matter what your illness is. This soup is also great with tortilla chips. 5 Stars
I made the soup again, but this time I put in chopped celery with all the other ingredients. It tasted the same (great) but crunchy. I like crunchy. Keep up the great work. I can’t wait to see what y’all cook next. What about vegetable soup. Winter will be here soon.
