Did you know that my "food blogging" started because of a Potato Soup recipe back in 2018? My first food blog EVER was an easy potato soup recipe which now has 239,815 views:  https://abbielynn02.blogspot.com/2018/10/easy-potato-soup-in-crockpot.html I have made some potato soup recipes since then, but I have to say, this one I made a few nights ago takes the cake.
