Potato Soup

I have been wanting to make potato soup for a long time, but haven't ever given it a shot. I found Pioneer Woman's recipe a few months ago and planned to make it this winter, but it just never happened. This week spring finally came and we have had amazingly warm weather...until today! So since warm weather is inevitable and we will no longer want hot soup, I decided today had to be the day! And oh am I soooo glad!! I know I have been on a PW kick lately, but I can't stop! Her recipes are so easy and taste better than anything else out there, so I may just end up making everything she has ever published.

Perfect Potato Soup. I couldn't agree more! There were lots of things to chop, so I did all the prep while Luca napped. Luca still naps twice a day and I am so so so grateful!

I love it when the first step of a meal fills your house with the most amazing smell!!

Then the smells got even better!

Potatoes and spices next!

I got a little worried at this point because it looked nothing like potato soup, but it's 

PW, so I really had no reason to fret!

And THIS is why I do all my prepping while Luca is sleeping. He is tiny and 

adorable and a handful to say the very least!

The finished product. My goodness, it was amazing! Potato soup is one of my favorite soups, I think thats why I haven't ever made it, it had to be just right!! And it was!!!!!

Leftovers for the freezer! My favorite!!

My mom doesn't know it yet, but she has dinner cooked for tomorrow night! She is amazing and fantastic and the best ever!!! She watches my boys every Thursday so I can either work or run errands, so every once in a while she needs a break with dinner. Im so glad this one is going to be awesome!!

The reality and very worst part about cooking!!

Heres to one last yummy soup before warm weather!!
